Summary

This study tests whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, a surgery to remove large kidney stones. About 128 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or a placebo (saline) injection. The main goal is to see if the nerve block lowers opioid use in the first 24 hours after surgery.
