Abstract
The use of analgesic techniques for VATS surgeries is variable and largely dictated by provider preferences. The majority still prefer epidural analgesia compared with paravertebral catheter (placed either by the anesthesiologist or surgeon). A broadly acceptable choice that is effective, safe, and technically less demanding requires comparative effectiveness studies and more uniform training for physicians.
