Aim of work: This randomized, controlled study aims to compare the ultrasound guided ESPB to RSB block in the duration of postoperative analgesia, pain scores and side effects after major abdominal surgery. Patients: sixty adult patients, ASA physical status I or II, scheduled Adults undergoing major abdominal surgery at general surgery operating theatres, Cairo university hospitals randomly divided into two study groups: ESPB group (n=30), RSPB group (n=30 |
