Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The retrolaminar block (RLB) is a modified paravertebral block that administers local anesthetic between the lamina of the thoracic vertebra and the erector spinal muscles, using landmark technique or under ultrasound guidance. Previous clinical study reported that RLB provides a good analgesic effect after VATS but was inferior to para-vertebral block(PVB).
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a relatively new interfascial block procedure first described for thoracic analgesia. Previous clinical studies reported that ESPB provides a good analgesic effect after VATS (comparable with PVB) and decreases morphine consumption after Lateral thoracotomy surgery. Thus, anaesthesiologists now have a greater choice for regional anaesthesia for thoracic analgesia. Although ESPB and RLB have similar puncture sites, Only one clinical study comparing ESPB and RLB in breast surgery has been reported , The mentioned study was also limited only to female patients. both blocks were compared with PVB but There is no clinical study that compares ESPB and RLB directly in VATS. Although the mechanisms of action of both ESPB and RLB have not yet been completely clarified, one cadaveric study indicated that ESPB leads to a broader spread of the local analgesic into a more extensive range of intercostal spaces from a single point of injection than RLB . Another cadaveric study reported that the lateral pathway, which is involved in the blockade of the intercostal nerve or the lateral cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves, is the primary mechanism of ESPB, in contrast to RLB.
Based on these anatomical studies, we hypothesize that ESPB can be superior to RLB for postoperative analgesia after VATS.

Erector spinae plane block
will receive a US-guided ESPB
Erector spinae plane block
Under aseptic precautions, the ultrasound transducer will be placed on the patient's back in a longitudinal paramedian orientation approximately 3 cm from the midline. A short-bevel, 80 mm 22-gauge insulated nerve block needle will be inserted using an in-plane approach to contact the tip of the T4 transverse process , After negative aspiration of blood, a total of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected through the needle. Adequacy of the block will be confirmed by ultrasonographic visualization of fluid spread (seen as a lifting of the erector spina muscles in both block) and after 15 min, documenting the sensory blockade will be done by using a piece of ice or cold object. If the desired sensory level fails to be achieved (T4 - T8), patients will be excluded from the study.
Retrolaminar block
will receive a US-guided RLB
Retrolaminar block

A short-bevel, 80 mm 22-gauge insulated nerve block needle will be inserted using an in-plane approach to contact T4 lamina of the vertebra , After negative aspiration of blood, a total of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected through the needle. And after 15 min, documenting the sensory blockade will be done by using a piece of ice or cold object. If the desired sensory level fails to be achieved (T4 - T8), patients will be excluded from the study.
