Brief summary (from the registry)
The main aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three alternative techniques (continuous Erectus Spinae Plane Block : c-ESPB; continuous Serratus Anterior Plane Block : c-SAPB; and Intercostal Nerve Block: ICNB) in reducing the severity of early postoperative pain after Uniportal-VATS lung resections. Primary outcomes will be opioid and other analgesic drugs consumption in the 72 hours after surgery, and static and dynamic pain scores, measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), at 6 pre-established time-points during the first 48 hours postoperatively. Further outcomes will be incidence of pulmonary and cardiac complications until patient's discharging, pain when removing drains, presence/absence of chronic neuropathic pain (12 weeks after surgery).
