Robotic-assisted cardiac surgery offers benefits such as reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and improved recovery. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols further optimize outcomes by promoting early mobilization, minimizing opioid use, and improving patient satisfaction. This case report highlights the successful implementation of a thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) as part of an ERAS strategy in robotic atrial septal defect (ASD) closure surgery.
