Regional analgesia techniques following nephrectomy: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
This network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed to assess the relative efficacy and safety of various regional analgesic techniques used in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy or nephrectomy. ⋯ This available evidence suggests that ESPB and TPVB are more likely to reduce pain scores within 24 hours and shorten the length of hospital stay. QLB-L and QLB-TM are more likely to reduce the cumulative opiates consumption within 24 hours. RLB and QLB-LSAL are more likely to decrease the incidence of PONV. The wound infiltration (WI), intraperitoneal instillation (IPI), and WI+IPI are less likely to be effective.

The effect of sacral erector spinae plane block on the quality of recovery after total hip arthroplasty: a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study.
Total hip arthroplasty, commonly performed to alleviate hip pain and enhance functionality in elderly patients, requires effective postoperative pain management to reduce opioid consumption and its associated side effects. A novel regional anaesthesia technique, the sacral erector spinae plane block, has the potential to enhance the quality of postoperative recovery significantly. ⋯ Sacral erector spinae plane block is a promising analgesic technique that enhances postoperative recovery and patient comfort in total hip arthroplasty.
