Review Meta AnalysisComparison of PECS II and erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia following modified radical mastectomy: Bayesian network meta-analysis using a control group.
The present study compared the effects of pectoral nerve block II (PECS II) and erector spinae plane (ESP) block for postoperative analgesia in patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy by performing a network meta-analysis (NMA) using indirect comparison with systemic analgesia. Studies comparing the analgesic effects of PECS II and ESP block were searched on MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library. The primary outcome of this study was cumulative opioid consumption for 24 h postoperatively. ⋯ Relative to systemic analgesia, PECS II block showed lower pain scores over the first postoperative 24 h, whereas ESP block did not. PECS II block showed the highest surface under the cumulative ranking curves for both opioid consumption and pain score. Both PECS II and ESP blocks were shown to be more effective than systemic analgesia regarding postoperative analgesia following modified radical mastectomy, and between the two blocks, PECS II appeared to have favorable analgesic effects compared to ESP block.

Randomized Controlled TrialThoracic Paravertebral Block Achieves Better Pain Control Than Erector Spinae Plane Block and Intercostal Nerve Block in Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Study.
The objective of this study was to compare analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), and intercostal nerve block (ICNB) after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). ⋯ All three blocks can obtain sufficient analgesia after VATS; however, TPVB appeared to be the preferable method compared with ESPB and ICNB, with a more successful analgesia and less morphine consumption.

Efficacy of interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK) block versus periarticular local infiltration analgesia after unilateral total knee arthroplasty: Prospective randomized control trial.
To compare the efficacy of interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK) block with periarticular local infiltration analgesia (LIA) to assess postoperative pain control and enhanced recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ Based on our findings, iPACK block is an effective technique in reducing pain in the immediate postoperative period without affecting motor function, resulting in enhanced recovery following primary TKA.

The impact of ultrasound-guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block combined with local infiltration analgesia for arthroplasty on postoperative pain relief.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (QLB) combined with local infiltration analgesia (LIA) for pain management and recovery in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) via a posterolateral approach. ⋯ Compared to treatment with LIA alone, ultrasound-guided transmuscular QLB combined with LIA can provide better postoperative pain relief and enhance the recovery of THA patients, since it does not cause quadriceps femoris muscle weakness and is associated with significantly lower need for intraoperative opioids.
