Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of liver lesions causes patients acute pain during and after the procedure. During the procedure patients need deep sedation and cannot be collaborative. Furthermore post-operative analgesia is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the ultrasound-guided paravertebral block (TPVB)with a single injection can provide anesthesia and post-operative analgesia in these patients.
