Analgesia efficacy of erector spinae plane block in laparoscopic Abdominal surgeries: A systemic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multimodal analgesia is now widely practised to minimise postoperative opioid consumption while optimising pain control. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. This will be determined by perioperative opioid consumption, subjective pain scores and incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Methods

We systemically searched electronic databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published up to February 2023 comparing ESPB with other adjuvant analgesic techniques in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. Nine randomised controlled trials encompassing 666 subjects were included in our study.

Results

ESPB was shown to reduce postoperat
