Summary
This study looked at whether a nerve block called an erector spinae plane block can reduce pain and stress after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive the block or not, and their pain scores, painkiller use, and stress markers were compared. The goal is to improve recovery after weight-loss surgery.
