Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Acute and chronic postoperative pain remains a major concern following thoracoscopic surgery. Firstly because pain constitutes a serious concern for patients after surgery, and secondarily because an ineffective control of pain may lead to postoperative morbidity, especially in lung cancer surgery.

To date, several procedures have been described but the best modality of locoregional analgesia for thoracoscopic surgery has not been assessed yet. The main objective of this study is to evaluate efficiency of several validated approaches for preoperative locoregional analgesia, comparing serratus plain block versus paravertebral block versus serratus plain block and paravertebral block for postoperative pain following thoracoscopic surgery.

To this end, the investigators will conduct an interventional prospective monocentric, double blind, compared and randomized study. Previously to thoracoscopic surgery, patients will be randomized in one of the three following arms: serratus plain block, paravertebral block or serratus plain block and paravertebral block combined.
