Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Single-Injection Erector Spinae Plane Block, Retrolaminar Block and Paravertebral Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Single-Incision Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Three-Arm, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Trial.
Effective postoperative analgesia is critical for thoracic surgery. This study compares the analgesic efficacy of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB), retrolaminar block (RLB), and paravertebral block (TPVB) in single-incision video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SITS). ⋯ ESPB and RLB provide noninferior analgesia compared with TPVB in SITS patients and are effective alternatives that enhance safety.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound-guided Double-point Versus Single-point Serratus Anterior Plane Block for Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The double-point serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) covers more area, including the axilla, than the single-point approach, potentially offering better pain relief after modified radical mastectomy (MRM). The objective of this study were to evaluate the clinical outcomes of these 2 procedures for patients treated with MRMs. ⋯ Double-point SAPB offers wider anesthetic spread but shows no significant clinical advantage in pain or axillary comfort over single-point SAPB after MRM.
