The analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) versus intercostal nerve block (ICNB) for thoracoscopic surgery remains controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the impact of ESPB versus ICNB on thoracoscopic surgery. ⋯ ESPB may be comparable with ICNB for the postoperative pain control of thoracoscopic surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of sacral erector spinae plane block on post-hemorrhoidectomy pain: A randomized controlled trial.
Hemorrhoidectomy is a common surgical procedure associated with significant postoperative pain. The conventional analgesic methods used for hemorrhoidectomy often have adverse effects and may not provide adequate pain relief. The sacral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a newly introduced technique that has shown promise in various surgical procedures. This prospective, randomized, controlled trial aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of sacral ESPB following hemorrhoidectomy. ⋯ The results suggest that sacral ESPB is an effective method for post-hemorrhoidectomy pain management, reducing the need for additional analgesics and improving patient recovery.
