Ultrasound-guided subtransverse interligamentary (STIL) block versus erector spinae plane (ESP) block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM) - A randomise... The STIL block is associated with a lower NRS score and decreased postoperative opioid consumption compared to the ESP block in patients undergoing MRM.

📑 IJA RCT Alert!
STIL vs ESP block after mastectomy 🎗️
✅ Lower pain scores with STIL
✅ Longer analgesia
✅ ↓ Opioid/rescue analgesia
✅ Safe & effective
