Summary

Paravertebral Block (PVB) was shown to be a successful and useful technique of anesthesia and analgesia. Its effect was evident in thoracic and abdominal surgeries. In the setting of appendectomy, somatic PVB has been used for pediatric patients. It was shown to decrease opioid consumption and provide prolonged pain relief. Hence, it would be beneficial to examine the analgesic effect of PVB on appendectomy in adult patients.
