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.
