Summary

This study will track opioid use in 35 adults undergoing thoracotomy (chest surgery) to see how much pain medication they need and what factors affect their pain. Researchers will also look at how opioid use relates to complications and hospital stay length. The goal is to better understand pain management after this common surgery.
