Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to compare the ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and oblique subcostal transverse abdominal plane block (OSTAPB) for postoperative analgesia in colorectal surgery.
Detailed Description
Colorectal surgery remains the therapeutic cornerstone for the management of a wide variety of gastrointestinal disorders encompassing malignancies and inflammatory conditions.
Oblique subcostal transverse abdominal plane block (OSTAPB) is a regional block technique that involves injecting local anesthetics between the transverse abdominal muscle plane and the internal oblique abdominal muscle plane.
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel technique that specifically targets the ventral rami, dorsal rami, and rami communicantes of the spinal nerves. Local anesthetic agents were observed to extend cranially and caudally over numerous dermatomal levels following injection.
