Erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report

Abstract: The Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESP) is a novel regional technique for anesthesia or analgesia. Originally the ESP block was described in 2016 in a case report regarding analgesia intervention for a case of thoracic neuropathic pain. Since then, there has been growing interest and research adding experience about the ESP block as regional anesthetic and analgesic technique. Reviewing the literature about this novel technique in databases like PubMed using the key words “erector spinae plane block” returns appr… Show more

“…Of these, five studies 9,11,[16][17][18] published between 2018 and 2020 met the eligibility criteria. Ten studies were excluded with the following reasons: two studies were case series, 19,20 two studies compared ESP block with another regional analgesic technique, 21,22 two studies were reviews of the literature, 23,24 two studies were meta-analyses, 6,7 one study was a case report, 25 and one study was excluded due to a suspicion of redundancy. 10 The five identified studies were published as full papers and involved a total of 250 patients (124 in the ESP block group vs. 126 in the control group).…”

“…Bilateral ESPB has also been reported to be used in many upper and lower abdominal laparoscopic procedures, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, samesession laparoscopic cholecystectomy and inguinal hernia plus endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, laparoscopic varicocelectomy, laparoscopic hepatic cyst, laparoscopic nephrectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy, and laparoscopic hemicolectomy. 7,19,22,28,[63][64][65][66][67] However, in some cases bilateral ESPB has been reported to result in block failure or lack of efficiency. 28…”

“…However, there are case reports showing that analgesic requirement decreases and analgesia duration increases when steroids are used as adjuvants in ESP block which is applied in many different indications such as chronic neuropathic pain and postoperative analgesia. [19][20][21][22] In our clinic, we often prefer dexamethasone as an adjuvant in interventional techniques used in the treatment of neuropathic pain. In the present study, 8 mg dexamethasone was used as an adjuvant in both groups.…”
