Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Adequate analgesia in thoracic surgery is essential to prevent severe postoperative complications, especially respiratory problems. Current knowledge about gender-related differences in pain states generally more frequent and intense pain and more demand for analgesics in women. Results about postsurgical pain in particular are very inconclusive.

The investigators tried to find out if gender has an influence on postthoracotomy pain and analgesics requirement.
