Intrathecal hydromorphone vs. transversus abdominis plane block for upper abdominal surgery: a propensity score-matching study
This study revealed that ITH was better at reducing the incidence of moderate-to-severe pain during movement within the first day after surgery. These findings suggest that ITH could be an effective choice for upper abdominal surgery. Further validation through randomized controlled trials (RCT) is required to establish optimal pain management protocols.
