Description
Burcu İzgi Duman and colleagues tested an erector spinae plane block for pain control after robotic colorectal surgery, in a 2026 prospective observational study. The block is an injection of local anesthetic along the back muscles. The team compared patients who received the block against a control group receiving standard care.
Seventy patients were followed, 36 in the block group and 34 controls, in a non-randomized design. The block group reported lower pain scores both at rest and when breathing deeply or coughing. They used less opioid medication and pressed the patient-controlled analgesia button less often during the first 72 hours, as the results describe. Hospital stay and time to first mobilization did not differ. The authors call the block a safe and effective part of combined pain management, while asking for larger randomized trials to confirm the effect.
