Comparison of the Effects of External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block and Subcostal Transversus Plane Block Methods With Ultrasound Guidance on Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Operations

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the external oblique intercostal plane block and the subcostal transversus abdominis plane block on postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Comparison of M-TAPA, EOIP, and Local Infiltration for Pain Relief After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

This retrospective observational study aimed to compare three pain management techniques used after laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy): modified thoracoabdominal nerve block through the perichondrial approach (M-TAPA), external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block, and local anesthetic infiltration. The study included 90 adult patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy between January and April 2025. Patients were divided into three groups according to the pain management technique they received during routine clinical care, with 30 patients in each group. The primary outcome was pain intensity measured 2 hours after surgery using a visual analog scale (VAS). Additional outcomes included pain scores at 15 minutes and 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours after surgery, the need for additional opioid pain medication, and opioid-related adverse events. The study aimed to evaluate differences in postoperative pain control and the need for additional pain medication among these three techniques using previously collected medical records.

External Oblique Intercostal Block (EOICB) for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of paravertebral block (PVB), external oblique intercostal (EOI) block, and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with tramadol on postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The primary endpoint is total tramadol consumption within 24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include pain scores, additional analgesic use, incidence of nausea/vomiting, mobilization time, and length of hospital stay.

External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block Versus Erector Spinae Plane Block in Paediatric Upper Abdominal Surgeries

This study aims to compare between ultrasound guided external oblique intercostal plane block and ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block in paediatric upper abdominal surgeries.

Intertransverse Process Block Versus External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacy of the Intertransverse Process Block (ITPB) and the Subcostal External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block (EOIPB) in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The primary outcome is the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score within the first 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include total opioid consumption, requirement for rescue analgesia, block-related complications and adverse effects (hematoma, pneumothorax, local anesthetic systemic complications, vascular puncture, and infection), patient satisfaction assessed using a Likert scale, quality of recovery assessed using the QoR-15 questionnaire, and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Ultrasound-Guided External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block Versus Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block For Perioperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy, duration of analgesia, and overall opioid consumption between the external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Comparison of the Effects of External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block, Subcostal Transverse Abdominis Plane Block, and Their Combination in the Management of Postoperative Pain in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery

This study aims to compare the efficacy of Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plan Block, External Oblique Intercostal Plan Block and the combination of these two blocks, which are used in anesthesiology practice for postoperative pain in laparoscopy cholecystectomy surgery.
