Abstract

Thoracic paravertebral block (TPB) can be administered for VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery) method and often used for analgesic purposes and provides good results. Awake VATS (AVATS) has been increasingly employed in a variety of procedures involving pleura, lungs, and mediastinum. AVATS had been reported local anesthesia and sedation, intercostal blocks or TEA was used in terms of regional anesthesia in many studies. We present our experience with the two cases undergoing AVATS accompanied by TPB due to such cases are rarely seen in the literature. Specially, our second case of spontaneous pneumothorax surgery using AVATS with TPB anesthesia has not been reported previously in the literature.
