Summary
The investigators aim to determine whether ultrasound-guided preemptive paravertebral
blockade (PVB) local anaesthetic (pre-PVB LA), administered in addition to the post-operative
PVB (post-PVB) local anaesthetic (LA) infusion, reduces acute postoperative pain, opioid
requirement, chronic pain, and improves surgical recovery, in thoracoscopic surgery for lung
cancer.
