Osteoarthritis frequently results in chronic pain and has a major impact on patients' quality of life. We present a case series of 20 patients with chronic hip pain who received a posterior quadratus lumborum block with the aim of improving their pain and, consequently, their quality of life. The results showed global improvement in pain and quality of life. These preliminary results support our conclusion. Posterior quadratus lumborum block is a safe and minimally invasive option for refractory chronic hip pain.

Article Synopsis
- Inguinal hernia surgeries often lead to significant postoperative pain, which can result in chronic pain if not properly managed.
- A study involving 60 patients examined three ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block approaches (transmuscular, lateral, and posterior) to assess their effectiveness in pain management after the surgery.
- Results showed that the transmuscular approach was the most effective, leading to lower pain medication needs and better pain scores, while all techniques had similar patient satisfaction and no adverse effects reported.
Intraoperative Electromyogram Analysis of Postural Musculature With Three-dimensional Screen Display Versus Operating Microscope in Ophthalmic Surgery: A Clinical Methods Study.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
November 2024
Background And Objective: To objectively analyze the effect of three-dimensional screen-based surgery (3D SBS) versus traditional operating microscope (TOM) on operating surgeon posterior chain postural musculature during ophthalmic surgery. We hypothesized an increase in median amplitude of electromyography (EMG) signals when using a TOM compared to 3D SBS. The goal was to assess surgical ergonomics that may contribute to cervical and lumbar spine pathology.

Background: During the postoperative period of elective cesarean section, intrathecal morphine is effective in the multimodal analgesic regimen, but can cause significant adverse effects. Bilateral posterior quadratus lumborum block could be alternatively used. The aim of this study was to compare efficacy and safety of both strategies as part of a multimodal analgesic regimen.
