Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block vs. modified-Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane Block for Lumbar Discectomy Surgery: A Randomized, Controlled Study.
This study aimed to compare the ultrasound (US)-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and modified-thoracolumbar interfascial plane (mTLIP) block for postoperative pain management in lumbar discectomy surgery patients. ⋯ US-guided ESPB and mTLIP block may provide adequate pain control after discectomy surgery. However, there is a nonsuperiority between ESPB and the mTLIP groups.

Thoracic fascial blocks have been included in multimodal analgesia for breast surgery. Fewer studies demonstrate its use as a regional anesthesia technique. The serratus anterior plane (SAP) block provides anesthesia to the lateral thoracic wall and the axilla, the surgical area of some breast surgeries, with a single injection. This article reports the use of the SAP block as an anesthetic technique for breast lumpectomy with axillary dissection ensuring good surgical conditions and patient safety.
