Summary
The study is comparing the difference between erector spinae block and surgeon infiltration
after VATS (Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery). The outcomes measured are pain scores,
opioid usage, opioid side effects, and patient satisfaction.We are also also studying the
effectiveness of liposomal bupivacaine (EXPAREL) in a block by randomizing patients to both
EXPAREL erector spinae block and simple bupivacaine erector spinae block.
