Patients in Group S underwent the SAPB before the surgical drape by an anesthesiologist, and in Group I, ICNBs were performed just before the wound closure after S-VATS by an attending thoracic surgeon. The primary outcome was the numeric pain rating scale (NRS) score given by the patients for pain at the surgical incision site. NRS was assessed during resting and coughing statuses at 3, 6, and 12\u2009hours postoperatively and at the time of the chest tube removal. The secondary outcomes included the number of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid administration until time to chest tube removal.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003There were no statistical differences between the two groups regarding age, body mass index, duration of operation, duration of anesthesia, and average NRS scores for the assigned time periods. There was no statistical significance in the number of opioid injections; however, NSAIDs were administered 2.8 times per patient in Group I, and 1.9 times per patient in Group S
