The feasibility of thoracoscopic-guided intercostal nerve block during uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy of the lung.
Abstract
Uniportal thoracoscopic surgery has become widely accepted for its favourable outcomes with regard to pain. However, post-operative pain is still a concern associated with thoracic surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the post-operative pain of patients undergoing uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomies using an intra-operative intercostal nerve block.
