Midpoint transverse process to pleura blockErector spinae plane block
Midpoint transverse process to pleura block: Patients will receive ultrasound-guided midpoint transverse process to pleura block using 10 mL 0.25% bupivacaine + 40 mg methylprednisolone.
Erector spinae plane block: Patients will receive ultrasound -guided erector spinae plane block using 10 mL 0.25% bupivacaine + 40 mg methylprednisolone.
Study summary
