Thoracic Erector Spinae Plane (T-ESP) Block Together With Intertransverse Process (ITP) Block for Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery: A Case Report.

Laparoscopy has become a milestone with reduced surgical stress and postoperative pain. Evidence promotes erector spinae block for laparoscopic abdominal surgery, in particular for cholecystectomy. The thoracic paravertebral space block is the administration of local anesthetic into a wedge-shaped space on the antero-lateral thoracic spine and provides abdominal analgesia. We hypothesized that a combination of two paravertebral by proxy blocks (erector spinae and intertransverse process (ITP)) with multi-dermatomeric coverage and visceral pain control, with evidence for intra- and postoperative analgesia in thoracic and abdominal surgeries, may be a surgical anesthesia option for laparoscopy. A 42-year-old patient with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was scheduled for a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. He was 173 cm in height and weighed 90 kg (BMI 30 kg.m
