Summary

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate whether the Erector Spinae Plane Block provides effective analgesia in patients undergoing robotic colorectal surgery and whether it contributes positively to the postoperative process.

With the advantages of ultrasound in recent years, the application of regional anesthesia methods such as trunk and peripheral nerve blocks has become a crucial component of multimodal analgesia strategies in postoperative pain management. Among regional techniques, the erector spinae plane block, in particular, has been shown to provide effective analgesia after numerous surgeries in recent years and is increasingly being used. Because the erector spinae plane block provides effective analgesia in a wide range of thoracic and abdominal surgeries, such as thoracotomy, cholecystectomy, and bariatric surgery, and because it is a simple and safe block, it is gaining increasing acceptance in daily practice for the treatment of chronic and acute pain. The aim of postoperative analgesia management is to provide effective analgesia by using multimodal techniques, thus reducing opioid consumption and related complications, providing early mobilization and shorter hospital stay, and increasing patient comfort.

PROCEDURE

Erector spinae plane block (ESPB)

Erector spinae plane block is not a drug or a device. It is a regional method for anesthesia/analgesia. Before block application, patients were placed in a sitting position. A preliminary examination with a high-frequency linear probe was performed to identify the application site. Sterile conditions were then established. An ultrasound probe was longitudinally placed approximately 2 cm lateral to the T11 spinous process. The transverse process was visualized. 1 ml of 2% lidocaine was applied to the estimated needle entry site. The needle was then guided toward the transverse process using an out-of-plane method using a blocking needle (Stimuplex® Ultra 360® 22G 80 mm, Melsungen, Germany). After bone contact was achieved, facial hydrodissection was observed with 1-2 ml of saline solution to verify the correct injection site. 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected into the plane. The distribution of the drug was visualised by USG.
