Pain Control and Recovery After Thoracic Surgery Using SPSIP Block

Sponsor: Izmir Katip Celebi University

Summary

Thoracic surgery is frequently associated with significant postoperative pain, which may impair respiratory function, mobilization, recovery, and patient satisfaction. The Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane (SPSIP) block is a recently described ultrasound-guided fascial plane block that may provide effective analgesia after thoracic surgery. This prospective observational cohort study will evaluate the analgesic effectiveness and postoperative recovery associated with SPSIP block in adult patients undergoing elective minor video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), major VATS, or thoracotomy. All patients will receive SPSIP block as part of routine institutional multimodal analgesia. The primary outcome will be postoperative quality of recovery assessed using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire at 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes will include postoperative pain intensity, opioid consumption, rescue analgesic requirements, postoperative nausea and vomiting, pulmonary complications, patient satisfaction, length of hospital stay, and chronic postoperative pain.
