1 Pie chart comparison of pain control at 3 weeks after lobectomy by standard thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The pie charts show that patients undergoing VATS have significantly less pain (P < .01) as measured by the most potent analgesic still required: severe—schedule II narcotic; moderate—schedule III or lower narcotic; mild—nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or acetaminophen.
