ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure that frequently results in substantial postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been shown to have beneficial postoperative analgesic effects when used as a part of multimodal analgesia. The aim of this study was to determine whether ESPB improves postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Evaluation of the effects of ESPB on postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and nausea and vomiting was the secondary objective. METHODS: In this prospective double-blind study, 82 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomised into one of two groups: a standard multimodal analgesic regimen in Group N (control) or an ESPB was performed in Group E. Preoperative and postoperative recovery quality was measured using the 40-item quality of recovery (QoR-40) questionnaire; postoperative pain was evaluated using the numerical rating scale scores. RESULTS: Postoperative mean (standard deviation) QoR-40 scores were higher in Group E (181 [7.3]) than in Group N (167 [11.4]); P<0.01. With repeated measures, a significant effect of group and time was demonstrated for the global QoR-40 score, P<0.01, indicating better quality of recovery in Group E. Pain scores were significantly lower in Group E than in Group N, both during resting and motion at T1-T8 times (P<0.01 at each time). The total amount of tramadol consumed in the first 24 h was lower in Group E [median 0 mg, inter-quartile range (IQR) (0-140)], than in Group N [median 180 mg, IQR (150-240); P<0.01]. CONCLUSIONS: ESPB improved postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Moreover, ESPB reduced pain scores and cumulative opioid consumption.
