Summary

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgery. Despite reduced surgical trauma compared to the traditional thoracotomy approach, pain control after VATS remains challenging. Regional analgesia may be a crucial component of multimodal postoperative pain management. The use of nerve blocks, such as the recently described erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been shown in case reports to reduce pain and thus has the potential to improve patient recovery. This study aims to test the hypothesis that ultrasound-guided SPB would improve the quality of recovery after VATS by reducing acute postsurgical pain.
