The aim of this study is to compare ultrasound-guided ESBP and Rhomboid block in terms of postoperative pain management, postoperative opioid consumption and complications in patients undergoing lobectomy with VATS.Patients aged 18-75 years, ASA 1-2-3, who gave informed consent to lobectomy with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) method will be included in this study. Patients with contraindications for the application of either method, known chronic pain, local anesthetic allergy, spinal deformity or mental or psychiatric problems that prevent cooperation, taking anticoagulants, and infection at the injection site will not be included in the study. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to one of the anesthesia groups of the study, which include ESPB (elector spina plane block) (Group 1) or Rhomboid block (Group 2). Randomization will be at a ratio of 1:1 and will be done by the closed-envelope method. Beforehand, a piece of paper with the name of one of the two groups will be placed inside the envelopes and the envelopes will be closed and mixed. A closed envelope will be drawn randomly for each patient before the procedure, and procedures will be carried out according to the group specified on the paper.
