Rhomboid Intercostal Block vs Erector Spinae Block

This randomized trial compares rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for postoperative pain control in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracotomy. Sixty patients will be assessed for 24-hour morphine consumption, pain scores, hemodynamics, recovery time, satisfaction, and side effects. The study aims to identify the more effective technique for enhancing recovery and minimizing opioid use.
