Summary

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after upper abdominal surgeries like Whipple or total gastrectomy. 40 adults were randomly assigned to receive either a rectus sheath block or an external oblique intercostal plane block. The main goal was to measure how long it took before patients needed extra pain medicine after surgery.
