Lobar torsion following left upper Lobectomy with VATS approach
AVATS had been reported local anesthesia and sedation, intercostal blocks or TEA was used in terms of regional anesthesia in many studies. We present our experience with the two cases undergoing AVATS accompanied by TPB due to such cases are rarely seen in the literature. Specially, our second case of spontaneous pneumothorax surgery using AVATS with TPB anesthesia has not been reported previously in the literature.
