Abstract
Following open thoracoabdominal surgery, patients are at risk of chronic pain due to unintentional peripheral nerve injury (PNI), such as nerve transection, compression, or stretching of peripheral nerves. While laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, the incidence of subsequent PNI from laparoscopic surgery remains unknown.PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched for peer-reviewed literature discussing nerve injuries following open or laparoscopic thoracoabdominal surgeries.From 1,580 unique citations, 28 articles (
