Background: Despite the benefits of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), postoperative acute pain and nerve injury are still present and contribute to early persistent and chronic pain. The purpose of this study is to describe the incidence of early persistent pain (EPP) after VATS, which remains unexplored, to enhance patient care and promote awareness among clinicians regarding this clinical condition.
Methods: A single-center prospective cohort study that included consecutive patients undergoing VATS between January 2021 and March 2023.
Objective: To analyze long-term treatment outcomes of a posterior neurectomy in a large cohort of patients with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES).
Summary Background Data: The current step-up treatment approach for ACNES involves abdominal wall tender point injections, pulsed radiofrequency, and neurectomy. If an anterior neurectomy fails or pain reoccurs, a posterior neurectomy is considered as a final surgical option.
Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine ongoing pregnancy rate, time to pregnancy and embryo transfers to pregnancy within a cohort of patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF).
Methods: IVF patients with RIF were included after referral to the RIF outpatient clinic. They received a questionnaire 1 year after inclusion.
Objectives: Chronic abdominal pain is occasionally caused by an abdominal wall entity such as anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES). This syndrome is thought to occur due to intercostal nerve branches (T7-12) that are entrapped in the rectus abdominis muscles. The diagnosis is largely based on subjective clues in patient history and physical examination.
