The sacral ESPB group (Group S)
The control group (Group N)
Patients in Group S underwent a procedure where a high-frequency linear ultrasound probe (Clarius, 205-2980 Virtual Way, Vancouver, BC, Canada V5M 4X3 MyLabFive; Esaote Europe BV Philipsweg 1 6227 AJ, Maastricht, the Netherlands) was positioned on the transverse plane, specifically on the fifth spinous process. The probe was then moved downwards to visualize the first and second median sacral crest. Next, the transducer was placed 3-4 cm laterally to the second medial sacral crest in order to visualize the intermediate sacral crest. In the interfascial plane, a total of 20 mL of local anesthetic solution (comprised of 10 mL bupivacaine 0.5%, 5 mL lidocaine 2%, and 5 mL normal saline) was injected between the erector spinae muscles and the intermediate sacral crest. The same procedure was performed on the contralateral side.
It will not be performed any extra intervention, just rutin clinic protocol.
