PVB

Paravertebral block initiated at the later part of thoracotomy is used for postoperative pain control

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

paravertebral block

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

postoperative pain is controlled with local analgesics delivered via PVB

TEA

Thoracic epidural block initiated before the surgical incision is used for postoperative pain control.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
