Thoracic surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain, which can hinder recovery and elevate morbidity risks. Traditionally, epidural anesthesia has been the cornerstone for pain management, but its drawbacks including technical challenges, side effects, and complications necessitate exploring alternative methods. This narrative review examined recent advances in perioperative analgesic strategies in thoracic surgery, focusing on regional anesthetic techniques like paravertebral blocks (PVBs), erector spinae plane blocks (ESPBs), intercostal blocks, and serratus anterior blocks.

Purpose: Thoracic surgery is among the most painful surgeries, postoperative pain can lead to a poor prognosis. This study aimed to explore the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided continuous rhomboid intercostal and sub-serratus (RISS) plane block Comparison of thoracoscopic intercostal nerve block (ICNB) on postoperative pain management and recovery in patients who underwent Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) Lobectomy.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study enrolled patients after VATS Lobectomy who received ultrasound-guided continuous RISS plane block (RISS group) or ICNB (Control group) for postoperative pain.

Background: Mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery are key interventions for breast cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Many undergoing breast surgery experience postoperative pain compromising their functionality and quality of life. While multiple pain management strategies are available, evidence comparing the erector spinae (ESPB) and serratus anterior plane blocks (SAPB) for improving post-surgical pain management in breast cancer surgery patients is limited.

Background: Regional analgesia techniques have become the basis of multimodal analgesia for acute and chronic pain. They are widely used in thoracic surgery, but the best treatment is still uncertain.
Objectives: We aimed to compare and rank the effectiveness of regional analgesia techniques for thoracic surgery.
