Analgesic efficacy of the bilateral erector spinae plane block for colorectal surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer is quite common, and surgery is the most effective treatment for most patients. However, postoperative pain management is generally inadequate in most patients. This study aimed to determine the effect of ultrasonography (USG)-guided preemptive erector spina plan block (ESPB), as part of multimodal analgesia, on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.  METHODS: This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind trial.
