Abstract
Significant postoperative pain is common after minimally invasive thoracic surgery (MITS). This can be mitigated with regional anaesthesia in conjunction with systemic multimodal analgesia. The erector spinae plane block (ESPB), a recently established interfascial block, has demonstrated effective postoperative analgesia after thoracic surgery,1 with fewer risks compared with paravertebral block (PVB). The introduction of ESP catheters for continuous infusion or intermittent bolus administration of local anaesthetic can provide further analgesia in the postoperative period,2 however, sufficient data are lacking.
