The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the three intercostal nerve blocks used in pain management in uniportal (one port) thoracoscopic surgeries: internal intercostal nerve blocks (ICNB), external ICNB, and Intercostal catheters. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups: * First group will undergo internal intercostal nerve block * Second group will be given external intercostal nerve block * Third group will have an intercostal catheter Researchers will compare the three groups to see their impact on post-operative pain management in uniportal VATS.
