This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (SPSIP Block) for postoperative pain control, reducing opioid analgesic consumption, minimizing postoperative respiratory complications, and enhancing patient satisfaction (measured using the QoR-15 index) in patients undergoing robotic thymectomy, compared to patients who do not receive the block.
