Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane (SPSIP) block compared to Intercostal Nerve (ICN) block in terms of postoperative pain control, reduction of opioid analgesic consumption, minimization of postoperative respiratory complications, and increase patient satisfaction (using a 5-point Likert scale) in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).

Treatments
Group SPSIP Block
In patients meeting the inclusion criteria for the study, an ultrasound-guided interfacial plane block is applied between the posterior superior serratus muscle and the underlying ribs in patients undergoing SPSIP block after VATS.
Group ICN Block
Patients meeting the inclusion criteria for the study who will undergo intercostal nerve block after VATS will have a total of 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine applied to two segments (upper and lower segments of the incision line) under direct vision by the surgeon while the patient is in the lateral decubitus position at the end of the operation and immediately before skin closure.
