AB  - Without  adequate  analgesia,  most  patients  would  experience  severe  pain  following  thoracic  surgery.Epidural  analgesia  is  widely  practiced  and  has  been  shown  to  provide  superior  pain  relief  compared  with  systemic  opioids.Multimodal  analgesic  strategies  improve  overall  outcomes  including  patient  satisfaction.Chronic  post-thoracotomy  pain  (CPTP)  is  common  and  remains  a  challenging  condition  to  treat.  Further  investigation  into  prevention  of  this  syndrome  is  needed.
