No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective observational study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of three commonly used pain management strategies in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS): Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (SPSIPB), Thoracic Epidural Analgesia (TEA), and systemic opioid analgesia. The study evaluates postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, and the need for rescue analgesics within the first 24 hours after surgery. By analyzing analgesic performance and safety profiles of these techniques, the study seeks to provide evidence to guide optimal postoperative pain management for patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracic procedures.
