Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess how the location of local anesthetic medication affects pain control capabilities in adult patients undergoing thoracic(chest)-only minimally invasive surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is pain decreased when local analgesia is provided as a combination of serratus anterior plane block and intercostal nerve block when compared to either block administered individually?
* How does location of local analgesia administration impact length-of-stay, cost-of-care, and quality-of-life?
Researchers will compare three treatment options including long-acting local anesthetic (Exparel®) administered as (1) intercostal nerve block, (2) serratus anterior plane block, or (3) combination of intercostal nerve block and serratus anterior plane block to see if pain and opioid use are reduced dependent upon treatment group.
All participants will receive a local anesthetic nerve block. Participants will be asked to describe their pain after surgery and to answer various questionnaires before and after surgery.
