Numbing block for pain after liver surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a numbing block (called an external oblique intercostal plane block) to see if it helps control pain after liver surgery. It may be a good option if you are having a hepatectomy and want to reduce pain and reliance on painkillers.
