Effect of Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Perianal Surgeries: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Introduction: Sacral nerves emerge through sacral foramina and traverse below the multifidus muscle. Hence, blocking this myofascial plane can provide postoperative analgesia in the perianal region by blocking the sacral nerves supplying it. Aim: To study the effect of Sacral Erector Spinae Plane B...

description Introduction: Sacral nerves emerge through sacral foramina and traverse below the multifidus muscle. Hence, blocking this myofascial plane can provide postoperative analgesia in the perianal region by blocking the sacral nerves supplying it. Aim: To study the effect of Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block (SESPB) on postoperative pain and postoperative analgesic requirement in perianal surgeries. Materials and Methods: A randomised controlled trial was done with 60 patients who were randomly allocated into two groups (30 in each group). Group 1 patients received no intervention, whereas Group 2 received bilateral SESPB. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), opioid requirement, first analgesic demand, and additional analgesic requirement were compared between the two groups. The qualitative data was analysed by Student’s t-test, whereas the quantitative data was analysed using the Chi-square test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Around 18 (60%) of the participants in group 1 were males, whereas group 2 consisted of 15 (50%) males. The mean age in group 1 was 40.7±11.5 years, whereas it was 43.6±12.7 years in group 2. The means of BMI were similar in both groups. The mean VAS score of group 1 was 3.19±0.23, whereas it was 2.37±0.25 in group 2. The first analgesic requirement was significantly delayed, and total tramadol requirement was lower in group 2 compared to group 1. Four patients from group 1 (control group) required inj. diclofenac sodium additionally. Conclusion: Bilateral SESPB provided good postoperative analgesia in patients who underwent perianal surgery. The total analgesic requirement was also found to be lower with this block. Hence, it can be considered a modality for perianal surgeries.
