In our study, we primarily aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of the Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block and the Serratus Anterior Plane Block, both routinely applied in patients undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)
Patients aged 18 to 80 years undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)
Scheduled at Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine Hospital Operating Room
Classified as ASA I, II, or III according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) criteria
Allergy to local anesthetics or contraindications to bupivacaine
Known or suspected coagulopathy
Infection at the injection site
History of thoracic surgery
Parallel
Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block
Procedure/SurgeryPatients undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) will receive either a Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (SPSIPB) with bupivacaine after induction and before the surgical procedure begins.
Serratus Anterior Plane Block
Procedure/SurgeryPatients undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) will receive either a Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) with bupivacaine after induction and before the surgical procedure begins.
The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is a commonly used pain assessment tool that allows patients to rate their pain intensity on a scale from 0 to 10. 0 indicates no pain. 10 indicates the worst possible pain. Patients are asked to choose a number that best represents their pain level at the time of assessment.
