SUMMARY
This study aims to evaluate the quality of recovery after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) by comparing the efficacy of a single-level intertransverse process block (ITPB) against a three-level ITPB, with particular attention to the quality of recovery measured by the QoR15 score at 24 hours post-surgery.

Treatments
Active_comparator: Single Level Intertransverse Process Block
Patients with primary carcinoma lung scheduled for resection under VATS procedure and randomized in SL group will receive a single level ITPB at retro SCTL space injection and it will be performed at T5 vertebral level after which two subsequent IM sham injections with 2-3 ml 0.9% saline will be performed at T3 and T7 level.
Active_comparator: Three Level Intertransverse Process Block
Patients with primary carcinoma lung scheduled for resection under VATS procedure and randomized in TL group will receive injection at T3, T5 and T7.
