Summary
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure to remove stones from
the kidney by a small puncture wound through the skin. Patients receiving lidocaine infusion
had lower pain scores, reduced postoperative analgesic requirements and decreased
intraoperative anesthetic requirements. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) seems to be
effective when compared with no block or a placebo block.
