However, conventional CS has some disadvantages such as severe pain, a long hospital stay, and cosmetic concerns. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is not associated with these disadvantages [1]. MICS facilitates earlier mobilization and faster postoperative recovery. Incision types for MICS include upper/lower hemisternotomy and right/left anterior minithoracotomy.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCardiac SurgerySerratus PosteriorSuperior Intercostal Plane BlockSerratus posterior superior intercostal plane block: novel block for minimal invasive cardiac surgery -A report of three casesLetter77116616810.4097/kja.23542Q2Q22-s2.0-8518428600837852626Q1
