Summary

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become a common procedure in thoracic surgery. Severe postoperative pain may be encountered in patients undergoing VATS. Analgesic methods such as thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), intercostal block, serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and erector spina plane block (ESPB) are widely used for VATS. Among these methods, ultrasound (US) guided TPVB is the most preferred method. In recent years, the frequency of application of plane blocks as a component of multimodal analgesia has been increased. ESPB and SAPB are some of them. There are two techniques for SAPB application. In Deep SAPB (DSAPB) application, local anesthetic agent is given under the serratus anterior muscle. In the Superficial SAPB (SSAPB) application, the local anesthetic agent is given above the serratus anterior muscle. The mechanisms of regional analgesia techniques used after thoracic surgery operations are also different from each other. Therefore, in this study, the analgesic efficacy of two different methods, DSAPB and SSAPB, will be compared.
