Summary

This study compared two pain-blocking techniques—epidural block and erector spinae plane block—in 71 patients undergoing open gynecologic cancer surgery. Researchers measured pain scores, opioid use, and how quickly patients could move after surgery. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief and faster recovery.
