Core Tip

Core Tip: This study demonstrates that the combination of thoracic paravertebral block with sufentanil-based multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer (LC) enhances analgesia and reduces the rate of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Besides decreasing postsurgical stress responses and various serum biomarker levels, this combination scheme exhibits higher safety, potentially providing a more effective strategy for pain management and cognitive function preservation. Our findings pave the way for new standards in postoperative care for LC surgery.
