Ipsilateral High Thoracic Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block for Post-Thoracotomy Shoulder Pain in Thoracic Cancer Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Objectives: To assess the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided high thoracic erector spinae plane block (HT-ESPB) in the management of post-thoracotomy ipsilateral shoulder pain (PTISP).

Design: Randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, controlled, clinical trial.

Setting: The National Cancer Institute.

Efficacy of adding dexmedetomidine as adjuvant with bupivacaine in ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block for thyroidectomy surgery: randomized controlled study.

Background: One important aspect of a successful thyroidectomy recovery is the level of pain postoperatively. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of an ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block (CPB) for thyroidectomy with dexmedetomidine added as an adjuvant to bupivacaine. The primary outcome was the duration of analgesia defined as the time till the first request for rescue analgesia.

Ultrasound-guided rhomboid intercostal block combined with subserratus plane block vs pectoral nerve block type-2 in analgesia for breast-conserving surgery (randomized, controlled study).

Introduction: The most frequent malignancy in women is the breast cancer, the rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane (RISS) block is a novel regional approach.

Objectives: This study evaluated the analgesic efficacy of the RISS block compared to type 2 Pectoral Nerve (PECS II) block in breast cancer patients following breast-conserving surgery (BCS).

Methods: This randomized controlled trial comprised 69 women with breast cancer scheduled for unilateral BCS under general anesthesia, randomly allocated into 3 equal groups.
