Zhang Y, Geng G, Chen Z, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to explore the connection between intercostal nerve block (INB) and postoperative glycemic control in patients with diabetes undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. This investigation was carried out at single-center tertiary academic hospital. Participants in the study were patients with diabetes, aged 18 to 79 years, who had undergone elective video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection (segmentectomy or lobectomy) from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2018. According to results, INB, performed prior to closure of surgical incisions, was linked to improved glycemic control in patients with diabetes within 48 h after video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection.
