The aim of the study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of Erector spinae plane block versus Serratus anterior plane block in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries. Preoperative: - On the day before surgery, all patients will be evaluated, detailed medical and surgical history will be taken also physical and systemic examinations will be done. The following investigations will be done including complete blood count, liver enzymes, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, International normalized ratio (INR) , kidney functions, serum electrolytes and ECG. All patients will be informed about the visual analogue scale (VAS) on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst imaginable pain. In the pre-Anesthetic room: * baseline hemodynamics will be recorded including heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and An intravenous access will be inserted. * In the operating theatre, full monitors will be applied. Intraoperative: - * Fentanyl (1 μg/kg), propofol (2 mg/kg) and atracurium(0.5 mg/kg) will be given IV for general anesthesia induction. * Intubation will be done using a double-lumen endobronchial tube size 37 Fr in females and 39 Fr in males, tidal volume will be 6-8 ml/kg in case of both lungs ventilation and 4-6ml/kg during singe lung ventilation. Anesthesia will continue using isoflurane 2 vol. %, 50% O2 and 50% air. * Moreover, three milligrams of Granisetron will be given as prophylactic against nausea and vomiting post-operatively. * During operation, 6 mL/kg/h of Ringer's solution will be administered. * At the end of surgery, the patient will be positioned laterally. * All blocks will be done using ultrasound-guidance (Mindray ultrasound) using high frequency linear probe (10-12 MHZ) by the same experienced senior doctors. Group A : (25 patients) patients will receive Erector Spinae Plane Block using 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. Group B: (25 patients) patients will recieve Serratus Aneterior Plane Block using 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine.
