Severe Postoperative Pain

Thoracic surgery is still associated with severe postoperative pain. In this video tutorial, we present 2 techniques that could be used as an additional method in a multimodal postoperative analgesia strategy for video-assisted thoracic surgery. We present the combination of an epipleural surgical infiltration of a local anesthetic with an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block.

Pain Scores

This article describes our experience with 5 patients with post-thoracotomy pain syndrome after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomies, treated with weekly erector spinae plane block. We injected corticosteroid and local anesthetic. At the end of the treatment period, pain scores decreased significantly. Our experience suggests that erector spinae plane block may have a role in the treatment of post-thoracoscopy pain syndrome.
