About

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgeries.

Full description

Laparoscopic surgery is associated with less pain, fewer wound infections, reduced hospital stay, reduced morbidity and mortality, and early return to work and improved overall quality of life.

The role of ESPB as a better analgesic modality in reducing 24-hour opioid consumption has recently been established for post-operative analgesia in breast surgeries, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and cardiothoracic surgeries.
