The patients were randomly assigned into two groups: intervention group (one-puncture of RSB combined with TAPB) and control group (traditional RSB and TAPB). The primary outcome was the duration of the nerve block procedure, and the secondary endpoints in this study included the convenience of the nerve block operation, sufentanil consumption, visual analog scale (VAS) scores at 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 48\u202fh after surgery, the Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (SAS) score, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the first time of the need for rescue analgesic, time of first PCIA presses, the duration of the postoperative hospital stay, and the incidence of adverse reactions after surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The duration of the nerve block procedure in the intervention group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (182.7\u202f\u00b1\u202f13.9\u202fs vs. 199.4\u202f\u00b1\u202f10.9\u202fs, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.0003), and the convenience of the nerve block operation in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001).
