Description
Two back-wall nerve blocks spared opioids after gallbladder keyhole surgery in a 2026 randomized trial by Özlem Turhan and colleagues. One hundred twenty adults were split three ways: erector spinae plane block, thoracic paravertebral block, or intravenous pain relief alone. Everyone received standard anesthesia plus paracetamol, tenoxicam, and patient-controlled tramadol for comparison.
Over the first day, the intravenous group used 135.78 milligrams of tramadol, against 101.05 with the erector spinae block and 95.67 with the paravertebral block. Pain scores and rescue needs also favored both blocks, and recovery quality scores rose. The erector spinae block was quicker to perform, with no complications in any arm.
