Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Plus Quadratus Lumborum Block or Retrolaminar Block of Multiple Injections for Postoperative Analgesia Following Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Plus Quadratus Lumborum Block or Retrolaminar Block of Multiple Injections for Postoperative Analgesia Following Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: A Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Trial

Our hypothesis was that transversus abdominis plane block plus retrolaminar block would reduce postoperative sufentanil consumption and provide superior analgesia compared with transversus abdominis plane block plus quadratus lumborum block for laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
