Official Title: Comparison of Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy Between Erector Spinae Plane Block and Thoracic Epidural Analgesia in Open Hepatectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary: Background: Open liver resection is associated with severe postoperative pain. While thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is considered the gold standard for pain control, its clinical application is often limited by postoperative coagulation profile derangement, which increases the risk of epidural hematoma. Continuous erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has emerged as a promising, safer alternative with a lower risk of bleeding complications. Objective: This study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy,…
