Actual (reported)Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of liver lesions causes patients acute pain during and after the procedure. During the procedure patients need deep sedation and cannot be collaborative. Furthermore post-operative analgesia is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the ultrasound-guided paravertebral block (TPVB)with a single injection can provide anesthesia and post-operative analgesia in these patients.

Actual (reported)Intensity of postoperative pain after radiofrequency ablation of liver lesion
Intensity of postoperative pain after radiofrequency ablation of liver lesion is evaluated in both groups using VRS of pain at rest and in movement after 3-6-12-24 hours from procedure.
