Research Article: Analgesic Efficacy of Nalbuphine as an Adjuvant to Ropivacaine in Erector Spinae Plane Block for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Clinical Trial

Date Published: 2023-11-14

Abstract:
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the most common surgical procedure for addressing kidney stones. Though PCNL is mini-invasive, patients still complain moderate to severe pain after the operation. As a crucial component of multimodal analgesia scheme for pain control after PCNL, peripheral nerve blocks become increasingly popular. It was reported that nerve blocks including epidural block, paravertebral nerve block, transmuscular quadratus lumborum block etc. could significantly reduce the consumption of opioids and provide effective analgesia for PCNL patients. However, these operations can be challenging to perform and pose an increased risk of complications, such as pneumothorax and spinal cord injury.,
