Summary
This study will compare two different methods of pain management in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). One group will receive a combination of spinal morphine, nerve block, and dexmedetomidine, while the other group will receive a nerve block and dexmedetomidine without spinal morphine. All patients will receive standard pain medications after surgery. The purpose is to see if adding spinal morphine improves pain control and recovery after surgery.
