This study investigates the effectiveness of single level bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for analgesia in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. A clinical case of a 27-year-old obese female patient undergoing both laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic adnexial tumor excision demonstrated that the ESPB provided adequate pain control with low opioid consumption postoperatively. The findings suggest that ESPB can serve as an effective regional anesthetic technique for multimodal analgesia in diverse abdominal surgeries.
