Abstract

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a standard procedure to remove and disintegrate large kidney stones. Despite minimal invasiveness, it is associated with significant postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel interfacial plane 
block recently introduced to provide analgesia in acute and chronic pain. The current study was conducted to compare the efficacy of ultrasound (USG) guided ESPB and conventional analgesia (CA) following PCNL.
