The aim of this prospective controlled randomised clinical trial was to identify the analgesic method that is more effective than two different regional analgesia techniques routinely used for pain control after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The effects of paravertebral block and erector spina plan (ESP) block on acute pain, need for additional analgesics and incidence of chronic pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) will be compared before surgical incision (pre-emptive) and at the end of surgery. It is aimed to show that ESP block, which is a newer method in the literature, provides equivalent / more effective analgesia with paravertebral block.
