Study Summary

A pilot randomized controlled trial comparing intercostal nerve blocks, cryo-ablation plus intercostal nerve blocks, and serratus plane catheter plus intercostal nerve blocks in patients undergoing esophagectomies with minimally invasive thoracic approaches.

Primary Outcome

Compare post-operative pain score changes over time between intercostal nerve blocks, cryo-analgesia, and serratus plane catheters in patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy. Patients will be asked specifically about thoracic/chest pain and asked to rate this pain on a Likert pain scale of 0-10, 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain they can imagine.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Local intercostal nerve block
  • PROCEDURE Cryo-analgesia and intercostal nerve block
  • PROCEDURE Serratus plane catheter blocks and intercostal nerve blocks
  • PROCEDURE Thoracic epidural catheter
