Nerve blocks for pain after liver surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after liver surgery. Both blocks are guided by ultrasound and are meant to reduce pain and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
