Trial shows comparable functional recovery and hepatic function after surgical resection in patients with epidural analgesia or quadratus lumborum block, suggesting a possible alternative for high-vi,
The QL block is a safe and effective alternative to epidural analgesia following liver resection, providing a comparable profile of hepatic function, coagulation status, and hemodynamic stability. Minor statistical differences in selected parameters did not translate into clinical relevance. The QL block may be a rational option for patients with contraindications to EA or increased risk of hemodynamic instability.
