Study objective The study was to determine the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided
intercostal nerve block (ICNB) and single-injection erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in …

Objectives The objective of this study was to compare analgesic efficacy of erector spinae
plane block (ESPB), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), and intercostal nerve block (ICNB) …

Background Although video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pulmonary resection is
increasingly chosen over thoracotomy, the optimal analgesia regimen for thoracoscopy is …

Objective There is no gold standard for the management of postoperative pain after video-
assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Interfascial nerve blocks were proposed as simple …

Background. Thoracoscopic surgery can be associated with considerable postoperative
pain. While the benefits of paravertebral block on pain after thoracotomy have been …

Objective Several nerve block procedures are available for post-thoracotomy pain
management. Design In this randomized trial, the authors aimed to determine whether the …

Objective Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has improved patient outcomes;
however, postoperative pain remains potentially severe. The objective of this study was to …

Background Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a commonly performed
minimally invasive procedure that has led to lower levels of pain, as well as procedure …

Objective Comparison of ultrasound (US)-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and
serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) patients. The …

Background Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) technique for thoracotomy has seen
increased application. The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) technique is simpler to …
