Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become an increasingly popular technique in thoracic surgery with improvement in technology. It provides significant advantages over open thoracotomy procedures including reduced acute pain, reduced mortality, improved post-operative pulmonary function, and shorter hospitalization stays. Nevertheless, there is still considerable amount of post-operative acute pain with VATS lobectomies. Controlling post-operative pain is crucial because increased acute pain has been associated with the development of chronic pain.
