Treatments tested in this trial
Group SPSIP: Serratus Posterior Superior İntercostal Plane Block (SPSIP)
Procedure/SurgerySerratus Posterior Superior İntercostal Plane (SPSIP) Block will be performed before the surgery in seated position, under standard sterilization conditions.A linear ultrasound probe will be placed in the sagittal plane along the medial border of the scapula, and the second and third ribs, relevant muscles, and the pleura will be identified. The needle will be advanced into the interfascial plane between the serratus posterior superior and intercostal muscles. After confirmation with salin injection , the block will be performed by injecting 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine, and the cranio-caudal spread will be visualized under ultrasound.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Postoperative 48-Hour PCA Opioid Consumption
Total amount of opioid delivered by the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device during the first 48 hours after surgery, recorded in milligrams(mg)
Secondary outcomes
QoR-15 Recovery Score
The investigators will use the Turkish version of Quality of Recovery (QoR) / QoR-15 questionairre PART A How have you been feeling in the last 24 hours? (0 to 10, where: 0 = none of the time \[poor\] and 10 = all of the time \[excellent\]) Able to breathe easily Been able to enjoy food Feeling rested Have had a good sleep Able to look after personal toilet and hygiene unaided Able to communicate with Getting support from hospital doctors and nurses Able to return to work or usual home activities Feeling comfortable and in control Having a feeling of general well-being PART B Have you had any of the following in the last 24 hours? (10 to 0, where: 10 = none of the time \[excellent\] and 0 = all of the time \[poor\]) Moderate pain Severe pain Nausea or vomiting Feeling worried or anxious Feeling sad or depressed
Dynamic and static NRS scores
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (0-10 0: No pain 10: most pain felt) pain scores at rest or movement at predefined postoperative hours
Total rescue analgesic dose
Despite the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), if the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score is ≥4 at any time point, 0.5 mg/kg intravenous meperidine will be administered as
Time of first request for rescue analgesia,
