“…Conversely, a comparison between LIA and transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) was performed with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine at the end of varicocelectomy surgery, before the termination of anesthesia, in which, TFPB was more effective in reducing postoperative pain and analgesic requirements. Nonetheless, the evaluation of persistent postoperative testicular pain was not considered and the authors describe LIA as safer and inexpensive 39 .…”

Background: Postoperative pain after laminoplasty and laminectomy occurs partially from local trauma of the paraspinal tissue. Finding a multimodal analgesic cocktail to enhance the duration and effect of local infiltration analgesia is crucial. Because of rapid onset and long duration of action of betamethasone, we hypothesized that, a preemptive multimodal infiltration regimen of betamethasone and ropivacaine reduces pain scores and opioid demand, and improves patient satisfaction following laminoplasty and laminectomy. Materials and methods: This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint study was conducted between September 1, 2021 and June 3, 2022, and included patients between the ages of 18 to 64 scheduled for elective laminoplasty or laminectomy under general anesthesia, with American Society of Anesthesiologists classification I/II. 116 patients were randomly assigned to either the BR (Betamethasone-Ropivacaine) group or the R (Ropivacaine) group in a 1:1 ratio. Each group received preemptive infiltration of a total of 10 ml study solution into each level. Every 30 ml of study solution composed of 0.5 ml of Betamethasone plus 14.5 ml of saline and 15 ml of 1% ropivacaine for the BR group, and 15 ml of 1% ropivacaine added to 15 ml of saline for the R group. Infiltration of epidural space and intrathecal space were avoided and spinous process, transverse process, facet joints and lamina were injected, along with paravertebral muscles and subcutaneous tissue. Cumulative 48 hours postoperative butorphanol consumption via PCA (Patient-controlled analgesia) was the primary outcome. Intention-to-treat (ITT) principle was used for primary analysis. Results: Baseline characteristics were identical in both groups (P>0.05). The cumulative 48 hours postoperative butorphanol consumption via PCA was 3.0 1.4 mg in the BR group (n=58), and 7.1 1.2 mg in the R group (n=58) (P<0.001). Overall cumulative opioid demand was lower at different time intervals in the BR group (P<0.001), along with the estimated median time of first analgesia demand via PCA (3.3 hours in the BR group and 1.6 hours in the R group). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at movement and rest were also significantly lower until 3 months and 6 weeks, respectively. No side effects or adverse events associated with the intervention were observed in this study. Conclusions: Preemptive analgesia with betamethasone and ropivacaine provides better postoperative pain management following laminoplasty and laminectomy, compared to ropivacaine alone. This is an effective technique worthy of further evaluation.

Background: Open inguinal hernia repair (OIHR) surgery is a common surgical procedure, and ultrasound guided interfascial plane blocks can also be included in current approaches to postoperative multimodal analgesia regimens. This study aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) in patients undergoing OIHR.Methods: This prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded comparative study was conducted in the postoperative recovery room and ward of a tertiary hospital. A total of 80 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I–III were enrolled and allocated equally to either the ESPB or TFPB group. The patients received standard multimodal analgesia in addition to an ultrasound-guided ESPB or TFPB. During the first 24 h postoperatively, tramadol consumption was assessed and pain levels at rest and during movement were compared using numeric rating scale (NRS) scores at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 h postoperatively.Results: The results showed no difference in NRS scores at any time point between the groups, except for NRS at rest in the third hour. However, tramadol consumption was lower in the TFPB group than in the ESPB group overall (88 ± 75.2 vs. 131 ± 93.7 mg, respectively; P = 0.027, mean difference: −43, 95% CI [−80.82, −5.18]).Conclusions: The TFPB leads to lower tramadol requirements in the first 24 h postoperatively than the ESPB in patients undergoing OIHR.
