  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a quadratus lumborum (QL) block for pain relief in female cats (queens) undergoing ovariectomy.
  • A total of 37 healthy queens were split into two groups: one received the QL block and the other was a control group with no block; the QL group needed significantly less intraoperative fentanyl for pain management.
  • The results showed that the QL block significantly reduced the need for additional fentanyl during surgery, but no major differences were found in postoperative recovery or complications between the two groups.
