Summary

This study looked at whether a quadratus lumborum (QL) nerve block can help manage pain after robotic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. 70 women were randomly assigned to receive either the standard enhanced recovery protocol or the QL block. The goal was to see if the block lowers pain scores and reduces the need for opioid painkillers right after surgery.
