Quadratus Lumborum Block for Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This analysis included 8 trials with 540 patients. QLB significantly reduced postoperative 24-hour intravenous morphine-equivalent consumption following TLH (mean difference: −4.61 mg; 95% confidence interval: −7.13 to −2.09; p
minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 10 mg. The static pain scores at 2, 6, and 12 hours, as well as dynamic pain scores at 2, 6, and 24 hours postoperatively, were significantly lower in the QLB group than in the control group. However, only the 2-hour postoperative dynamic pain score (mean difference = 1.19) exceeded the MCID of 1. No statistically significant differences were observed in the incidence of PONV.
