Özet
Aim: To investigate the complications that occur in our patients who underwent thoracic surgery, as well asthe relationship between postoperative pain and complications.Method: Of the 117 patients who underwent surgery between January 2018 and December 2018, there were99 patients with pain and the other parameters whose data’s were complete. Medical records of the patientswere investigated in terms of age, gender, smoking status and frequency, diagnosis, treatment, length of stayin the hospital, postoperative complications and visual analog scale (VAS). The postoperative complicationsand VAS values were compared statistically.Results: The mean age of the patients was 50.52±18.46 years, 26 (26.3%) patients were female and 73 (73.7%)were male. The average length of stay in hospital was 4.08±3.06 days and average pain severity was 3.92±2.07.The most common diagnosis in our cases was lung cancer, and the most common complication was prolongedair leakage. There was a significant relationship between the severity of pain and the presence of postoperativecomplications in our patients (p=0.001). However, the correlation relationship was found to be low (r=0.322).Conclusion: The results of our study revealed that optimal postoperative pain control is an important factorfor preventing postoperative complications.
