“…The proposed spread of local anesthetic anterior to the paravertebral and epidural space provides both visceral and somatic analgesia with distribution between two to five vertebral levels. Consequently, specific vertebral levels can be targeted and the volume of local anesthetic injected can be customized, respectively, according to specific patient or procedure requirements [14] .…”

Background: Rectus sheath block (RSB) is a popular technique for post-operative analgesia for patients undergoing abdominal surgeries with midline incisions. Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an interfacial plane block for the treatment of post-operative neuropathic pain. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of ESPB versus RSB in adult patients undergoing open para-umbilical hernia repair. Methods: This prospective randomized double-blinded study was carried out on seventy-four adult patients with ASA physical status I-II undergoing open paraumbilical hernia repair. Patients were divided into two equal groups: group I (ESPB): patients received bilateral ultrasound-guided ESPB using bupivacaine 0.25% (20 ml) on each side and group II (RSB): patients received bilateral ultrasound-guided RSB using bupivacaine 0.25% (20 ml) on each side. The following measurements was recorded: VAS score, intraoperative fentanyl consumption, the time to the first postoperative rescue analgesia administration, total dose of postoperative rescue analgesia (morphine) consumption, heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure.
