ReviewGet your 7-point golden medal for pain management in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Thoracic surgery is evolving, necessitating an adaptation for perioperative anesthesia and analgesia. This review highlights the recent advancements in perioperative (multimodal) analgesia for minimally invasive thoracic surgery. ⋯ In the realm of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, perioperative analgesia is typically administered through systemic and regional techniques. Nevertheless, collaboration between anesthesiologists and surgeons, utilizing surgically placed nerve blocks and an active chest drain management, has the potential to significantly improve overall patient care.

Use of Bilateral Rectus Sheath Blocks in Open Umbilical Hernia Repair.
In recent years, the rectus sheath block (RSB) has become increasingly prevalent in laparoscopic surgery. However, there is currently no definitive research on its use in the open repair of umbilical hernias with cirrhotic ascites. ⋯ US-guided RSBs are an efficient method of anesthesia for open umbilical hernia repair in patients diagnosed with cirrhosis. This technique not only provides precise anesthesia and appropriate analgesia but also results in a low incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
