Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Total amount of postoperative analgesic consumption

    total dose of postoperative tramadol and morphine

    First 24 hours postoperative

    VAS will be measured at 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th, 24th hours postoperative at rest and during cough

    First 24 hours postoperative

Study Arms (2)

RIB Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Drug: Bupivacaine 0.25% patients will receive 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% in the rhomboid plane under rhomboid major muscle

Other: Rhomboid intercostal plane block or Local anesthetic infiltration of 0.25% Bupivacaine

LA Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Drug: Bupivacaine 0.25% patients will receive wound infiltration of VATS incision, single-incision with 10mL 0.25% bupivacaine double-incision with 15 mL (10mL+5mL) 0.25% bupivacaine three-port strategy with 17 mL (10mL+5mL+2mL) 0.25% bupivacaine .

Other: Rhomboid intercostal plane block or Local anesthetic infiltration of 0.25% Bupivacaine

Interventions

for RIB GroupThe following structures will be identified from superficial to deep: trapezius muscle, rhomboid major muscle, intercostal muscles between ribs, pleura, and lung. The tissue plane between the rhomboid major and intercostal muscles will be identified. A 18 gauge Tuohy needle will be advanced in plane from a superomedial-to-inferolateral direction, through the trapezius and rhomboid major muscles. The skin entry point for the first injection will be the T5-T6 level just medial to the scapula. After the location is confirmed through hydrodissection of 3 ml on the upper intercostal muscles under the rhomboid major muscle, 20ml of bupivacaine (concentration 0.25%) is injected under rhomboid major muscle LA group will receive wound infiltration of VATS incision single-incision with 10mL 0.25% bupivacaine double-incision with 15 mL (10mL+5mL) 0.25% bupivacaine three-port strategy with 17 mL (10mL+5mL+2mL) 0.25% bupivacaine
