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.

Thoracotomy is a common surgical procedure performed worldwide for lung disease. Despite major advances in analgesia, patients still experience severe shoulder, central back and surgical incision site pain in the postoperative period. This study aimed to assess whether intraoperative phrenic nerve infiltration reduces the incidence of postoperative pain and improves peak flow volume measurements during incentive spirometry.
