About this trial

Hystrectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removal of uterus from the body of patient using a lower abdominal incision. This is an extremely painful procedure which causes discomfort and greatly increases opioids consumption in the peri-operative period. This can be reduced by using nerve blocks such as Erector spinae plane block.
