Abstract

We were interested in applying the appealingly safer yet equally effective alternative suggested to thoracic paravertebral block – the erector spinae plane (ESP) block by Forereo1 to our clinical practice. ESP block is being used as an effective analgesic technique in abdominal and thoracic procedures like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and bariatric surgeries.2,3 It is a very safe and effective analgesic technique with minimal potential for major complications. ESP block proved to be effective for analgesia in breast surgeries as well.
