Ultrasound-guided anterior and posterior quadratus lumborum block for analgesia after laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Aim: Laparoscopic procedures are now preferred over open surgeries, and total laparoscopic hysterectomy is becoming increasingly popular. Quadratus lumborum (QL) block is an evolving technique for abdominal surgeries that blocks T5-L1 nerve branches. Methods: We used a combination of anterior and posterior QL block given bilaterally in two patients and evaluated perioperative opioid consumption, postoperative pain score and patient satisfaction. Results: There was reduced perioperative opioid consumption along with postoperative visual analog scale for pain over the first 24 h. Both patients appreciated the level and standard of pain relief. Conclusion: QL block is promising as a part of multimodal analgesia for laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. Further studies are needed to determine the best possible combination of different approaches to QL block.
