Erector Spinae Plane Block versus Quadratus Lumborum Block for Postoperative Analgesia after Laparoscopic Resection of Colorectal Cancer: A Prospective Randomized Study.

Background: In recent years, the attention paid to colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery and postoperative analgesia has increased.

Objective: The objective of the current study was to compare the impact of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (TQLB) upon providing relief to patients with postoperative pain who underwent laparoscopic resection for CRC.

Methods: In this prospective, comparative, and randomized study, the authors considered a total of 60 patients who chose to undergo laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer.

Comparison of the effects of transversus thoracic muscle plane block and pecto-intercostal fascial block on postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing open cardiac surgery: a prospective randomized study.

Background: There is an association exists between cardiac surgery, performed through median sternotomy, and a considerable postoperative pain.

Objectives: The aim of the current study is to compare the effects of transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTMPB) and pecto-intercostal fascial plane block (PIFB) upon postoperative opioid consumption among the patients who underwent open cardiac surgery.

Methods: The present prospective, randomized, comparative study was conducted among 80 patients who underwent elective on-pump cardiac surgery with sternotomy.

Comparative study of dexmedetomidine versus fentanyl as adjuvants to bupivacaine in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block in patients undergoing radical cystectomy: a prospective randomised study.

Background: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is beneficial for pain management after conducting abdominal surgery.

Objective: To compare the outcomes of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, as adjuvants to bupivacaine, for ultrasound-guided TAP block analgesia among patients undergoing radical cystectomy for postoperative pain management.

Methods: This prospective, randomised, comparative study included a total of 60 patients, who underwent radical cystectomy.
