The data of a total of 60 patients who underwent thoracotomy/lobectomy between August 2021 and June 2022, were analyzed. We used CONSORT flow diagram for our study (Fig. Flowchart of the patients. ESPB: Erector Spinae Plane BlockThe groups were similar in terms of demographic characteristics and surgical features (Demographic characteristics and surgical features of patientsContinuous variables are expressed as either * the mean ± standard deviation (SD) or No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and SpOWhen the groups were evaluated in terms of VAS resting scores, the 1Resting and coughing VAS scores of the patients during the postoperative 48 hContinuous variables are expressed as the median (QVAS scores at rest. Data are expressed as median (horizontal bars), interquartile range (boxes), and maximum and minimum values (whiskers) for the VAS scores in the 1VAS scores at coughing. Data are expressed as median (horizontal bars), interquartile range (boxes), and maximum and minimum values (whiskers) for the VAS scores in the 1When the groups were evaluated in terms of morphine consumption and additional analgesic use they were found to be statistically significantly higher in the 20 ml group than in the 30 ml group (Morphine consumption, additional analgesic (tramadol) use, tramadol consumption, and side effects during the postoperative 24-h need for additional analgesics, and complication ratesContinuous variables are expressed as either* the mean ± standard deviation (SD) or
