Background: Minimally invasive surgical procedures are a current trend in cardiac surgery. The advantage is minimal surgical trauma, reduced probability of adhesion formation, and a smaller surgical scar. During these procedures, the incidence of damaging the intercostal nerve and a subsequent increased perception of postoperative pain. Methods: One of the options in anesthesiological interventions is cryoablation of the intercostal nerve. In this pilot study, we compared two groups of patients. Group A (3 patients), with cryoablation performed, and Group B, the control group of 7 patients, treated according to the current analgesic protocol at our department. Conclusion: Compared with Group B, from admission, we recorded a decreased intensity of pain and a lower consumption of opioid analgesics in Group A.
