Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block Provides Surgical Anesthesia in Ambulatory Anorectal Surgery: Two Case Reports.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a new and popular interfacial fascial plane block which has been used in many different surgeries. There are a few cases in which ultrasound-guided sacral ESPB was used for postoperative analgesia. This article presents the successful use of bi-level, bilateral sacral ESPB for main anesthetic method in anorectal surgery. Anesthetic level required for surgery was accomplished in 30 minutes, and none of the patients experienced pain throughout the surgery. The patients were discharged at the postoperative fourth hour without any complications. The patients, who were contacted later, indicated no need for any analgesic for 24 h postoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature where sacral ESPB is used as the sole anesthetic technique. The sacral ESPB can be considered in anorectal surgery as an alternative technique for spinal or general anesthesia.
