Randomized Controlled Trial
Posteromedial quadratus lumborum block versus transversus abdominal plane block for postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic colorectal surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
Our hypothesis was that a pre-operative posteromedial quadratus lumborum (QL) block would reduce postoperative morphine consumption and provide superior analgesia in the setting of multimodal analgesia compared with a lateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. ⋯ The pre-operative bilateral, ultrasound-guided posteromedial QL block reduces morphine consumption and improves analgesia in the setting of multimodal analgesia compared with the lateral TAP block after laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of preoperative erector spinae plane vs. paravertebral blocks on patient-controlled oxycodone consumption after video-assisted thoracic surgery: A prospective randomized, blinded, non-inferiority study.
To investigate the effective analgesia for video-assisted thoracic surgery. ⋯ Preoperative Erector spinae plane blocks (ESPB), when in combination with round-the-clock NSAIDs, offered equivalent analgesia and quality of recovery after video assisted thoracic lung surgery compared with paravertebral blocks. Patients who received ESP blocks had similar consumption of oxycodone and length of hospital stay.

Randomized Controlled TrialContinuous quadratus lumborum block and femoral nerve block for total hip arthroplasty: a randomized study.
Continuous femoral nerve block (FNB) has been effectively used after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Recently the anterior approach to quadratus lumborum block (QLB) has been shown to produce postoperative pain relief after THA. Continuous QLB would benefit from a catheter insertion site that is farther away from the surgical site compared with continuous FNB. In this randomized controlled study, we compared analgesic effects of the two techniques in patients undergoing THA. ⋯ Analgesic effects of continuous QLB were inferior to those of continuous FNB in patients undergoing THA under the current study condition.
