Analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided ESPB on metabolic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided ESPB in metabolic surgery.

Methods

A systematic literature search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase was conducted from database inception to February 2025 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with either no block, sham block, or alternative regional analgesic techniques in patients undergoing metabolic surgery. Primary outcomes included 24 h postoperative opioid consumption, while secondary outcomes encompassed pain scores, time to first analgesic requirement, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and patient satisfaction. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bi
