Why the study?
Does Port-Access minimally invasive mitral valve surgery cause severe incisional pain and long thoracic nerve injury?
Does Port-Access minimally invasive mitral valve surgery cause severe incisional pain and long thoracic nerve injury?
Port-Access minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be complicated by severe incisional pain and long thoracic nerve injury, which may impact postoperative recovery.
May warrant vigilance for long thoracic nerve injury after Port-Access mitral surgery; leaves open true incidence and prevention.
The authors describe the occurrence of severe postoperative pain and long thoracic nerve injury after Port-Access minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. The potential for these events and the impact on postoperative hospitalization and rehabilitation are emphasized.
