Background: Prostatic hyperplasia is a physiological aging process in men. After transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), visceral pain is the main cause. The effective postoperative analgesia can reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications. This study mainly studied the analgesic effect of quadratus lumborum block (QLB) on TURP.
Methods: We divided 62 patients undergoing TURP into 2 groups using a random number table method (QLB 2 group and non-QLB [control] group). Patients in the QLB group underwent ultrasound-guided posterior QLB with 20 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine on each side, and those in the control group received only general anesthesia. The primary outcome for this study was the consumption analgesic pump during 0 to 24 hours. The secondary outcomes included the first pressing time of analgesic pump during 0 to 24 hours, the pain at rest and when coughing at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-operation as measured with a visual analogue scale for pain, length of the hospital stay, and complications (nausea and vomiting, dizziness, and abdominal distension).
Results: Patients in the QLB group presented less consumption, later first pressing time of analgesic pump during 0 to 24 hours after surgery lower visual analogue scale scores at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours postsurgery than those in the control group. Moreover, their mean length of hospital stay was shorter (P = .023), and they experienced less postoperative complications than the patients in the control group.
Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided QLB in TURP provided a significant analgesic effect in our patients the first day after surgery. This analgesic model may improve the postoperative recovery after TURP.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block (IIHB) in children undergoing surgery for inguinal hernias.
Material And Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched to January 4, 2024. For continuous data, the effect sizes were presented as weighted mean differences (WMDs), and for categorical data, they were reported as relative ratios (RR), each accompanied by 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Background: Effective postoperative analgesia enhances the patient's comfort and facilitates early mobilization and recovery.
Objective: This study compared the analgesic efficacy of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) for pelvi-ureteric surgeries. The primary outcome measure in the study was the total morphine consumption during the first 48 hours following the operation.

Department of Anesthesiology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China.
Background: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) are two novel interfascial plane block techniques with possible analgesic effects for both incisional and visceral pain. However, the results of the intercomparison of the two techniques for analgesia after abdominal surgery remain controversial.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on five databases for randomized controlled trials comparing the analgesic efficacy of ESPB and QLB in abdominal surgery.

Background: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel analgesic technique that can reduce post-operative pain and postoperative opioid consumption in laparoscopic surgeries.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science on November 17th, 2023 for clinical trials comparing ESPB with other analgesic techniques or placebo for laparoscopic surgeries. We meta-analyzed post-operative pain at rest, postoperative opioid consumption, time to first rescue analgesic request, and postoperative nausea and vomiting using a random effects model.
