Postoperative pain management is considered an integral part of perioperative care in patients undergoing thoracotomy. In order to reduce these complications, multiple regional techniques have been developed for thoracotomy including Intercostal nerve block, Erectospinae plane block and serratus block. Multiple adjuvants have been used in regional analgesia including adrenaline,clonidine,magnesium sulphate,dexmedatomidine and opoids.
