Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae block versus mid-transverse process to pleura block for postoperative analgesia in lumbar spinal surgery.
In recent years, promising results were achieved with the use of ultrasound (US)-guided interfascial plane blocks for effective postoperative analgesia in several surgeries. Erector spina plane (ESP) block and mid-transverse to pleura plane (MTP) block are the latest techniques in this area. The aim of this prospective and randomized study was to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of bilateral ESP and MTP blocks in patients undergoing lumbar spinal surgery under general anesthesia (GA). ⋯ Both ESP and MTP blocks provided effective pain relief after lumbar spinal surgery but the ESP block was superior to MTP block regarding postoperative analgesia in the first 24 h.

Unilateral transversus abdominis plane block and port-site infiltration : Comparison of postoperative analgesic efficacy in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
To compare the analgesic efficacy of unilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with local anesthetic infiltration, applied to the port site in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). ⋯ Unilateral subcostal TAP block was superior to local anesthetic infiltration at port sites after LC, in terms of low opioid consumption. Unilateral subcostal TAP block is recommended as part of a multimodal analgesic protocol.
