Conditions
Brief summary
Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is a newly described and effective interfascial plane block for thoracic and abdominal surgery. It was first described by Forero et al. in 2016, effectiveness being reported in four cases. The paravertebral block has been successfully used in various surgical patient groups for purposes of anesthesia or postoperative pain management such as thoracotomy, breast surgery and abdominal surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic effects of erector spinae plane block and paravertebral block in patients undergoing video assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
