Summary

This is a pilot study in which a total of 6 people will participate. This study aims to optimize the postoperative pain management of an anatomically minimally invasive lung resection (RATS) by comparing 2 pain-relieving techniques. As standard, an intercostal block is placed at the end of the procedure by injecting a local anesthetic at the site where the patient will be operated on. This study compares the previous method with the use of cryotherapy as an intercostal block. This technique uses cryo probes and blocks postoperative pain for 1-3 months. By comparing both techniques, it is examined whether cryotherapy requires less pain medication and is therefore more effective.
