Özet

Erector spinae plane block has been used for postoperative pain following thoracic surgery as an alternative to epidural block or adjunct to general anesthesia in thoracic procedures. However, its sole use during thoracoscopic surgery without general anesthesia is rare. Here, we report two cases in which erector spinae plane block was successfully used as the only anesthetic method during video-assisted thoracoscopy.
