Abstract

BACKGROUND: The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is an effective technique to provide analgesia for upper and lower abdominal surgeries. There are various approaches described in the literature, but the best approach is still to be explored. This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of three different approaches of QLBs.
