First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 60 adults having lung surgery (VATS) to compare two types of nerve blocks for pain relief: the Edge Laminar Block and the Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block. Researchers measured pain scores, how much opioid painkiller patients needed, and side effects like nausea. The goal is to find which block provides better pain control after surgery.
