Randomized Controlled TrialEvaluation of postoperative pain in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy with pectoralis or serratus-intercostal fascial plane blocks.
Regional nerve blocks are an integral part of multimodal analgesia and should be chosen based on their efficacy, convenience, and minimal side effects. Here, we compare the use of pectoral (PEC II) and serratus-intercostal fascial plane (SIFP) blocks in breast carcinoma cases undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM) in terms of the postoperative analgesic efficacy and shoulder mobility. ⋯ Both SIFP and PEC blocks have comparable dynamic and static pain relief with better shoulder pain scores in patients receiving SIFP.

Case ReportsCombination of ultrasound-guided lumbosacral plexus block with anterior quadratus lumborum block in supine position for hip surgery: a case report.
It was widely recognized that the procedure of ultrasound-guided lumbar and sacral plexus block is required to be performed in a lateral decubitus position that patients' hips and knees were bended. It is difficult, however, for patients with hip fractures to change position because of severe pain and confined movements. We here reported a new modified combination of ultrasound-guided lumbosacral plexus block with anterior quadratus lumborum block in supine position that had been successfully applied in one elderly patient who underwent hip surgery.

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.
