According to the random number table method, patients were randomly allocated into two groups: the improved subcostal border anterior quadrate block combined with general anesthesia group (Group A) and the traditional anterior quadrate block combined with general anesthesia group (Group B), each comprising 28 patients. Both groups underwent tracheal intubation and general anesthesia. Before anesthesia induction, patients in Group A received 0.33% ropivacaine (20\u00a0ml per side) administered bilaterally under ultrasound guidance for the improved anterior quadratus lumborum block. In contrast, patient in Group B received 0.33% ropivacaine (20\u00a0ml per side) administered bilaterally under ultrasound. Following the surgical procedure, both groups were administered controlled patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). The administration of perioperative opioids (including intraoperative remifentanil dosage and postoperative opioid dosage) as well as propofol was systematically recorded during the follow-up period; VAS scores were recorded both at dynamic and static at 2 hours, 6 hours,\u201324 hours, and 48 hours post-intervention; The number of effective analgesic pump activations within\u201348 hours post-operation was recorded. Additionally, the time of the first anal exhaust and the time of feeding within 48 hours after surgery were documented. Postoperative adverse reactions, including skin itching, nausea or vomiting, and dizziness, were also observed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to Group B, Group A exhibited a significantly lower dosage of remifentanil (1.49 \u00b1 0.50 mg vs 1.86 \u00b1 0.77 mg, P&amp;lt;0.05) and postoperative opioids (median, 31.79 \u03bcg with IQR 23.04-42.75\u03bcg vs median, 42.30\u03bcgwith IQR 43.26-44.64\u03bcg), P&amp;lt;0.05); The dynamic and static VAS scores of patients in Group A were significantly reduced at 2 hours (median 3.00 with IQR 2.00-3.00 vs median 4.00 2with IQR 4.00-4.50, median 3.00 with IQR 2.00-3.00 vs median 3.00 with IQR 3.00-4.00, P&amp;lt;0.001), 6 hours (median 3.00 with IQR 2.00-3.50 vs median 4.00 with IQR 4.00-4.50, median 2.00 with IQR 2.00-3.00 vs median 3.50 with IQR 3.00-4.00, P&amp;lt;0.001) and 24 hours (median 3.00 with IQR 3.00-4.00 vs median 4.00 with IQR 3.50, 4.50, median 3.00 with IQR2.00-3.00 vs median 3.00 with IQR 3.00-4.00, P&amp;lt;0.05); There was no statistically significant difference in dynamic and static VAS scores between the two groups at 48 hours (P=0.568, P = 0.109); The number of analgesic pump compressions in Group A significantly decreased at 48 hours post-surgery (median,0.00 with IQR 1.00-2.00) vs median,1.50 with IQR 0.25-4.00, P&amp;lt;0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the propofol dosage between the two groups (P=0.667); The A group achieved earlier oral feeding (median 25.00\u00a0h with IQR 20.00-30.00\u00a0h vs median 33.25\u00a0h with IQR 21.50-38.00\u00a0h,P&amp;lt;0.05), earlier anal release of gas (median 24.00\u00a0h with IQR 21.00-30.00\u00a0h vs median 32.00\u00a0h with IQR 24.50-38.00, P&amp;lt;0.05); Compared with Group B, the incidence of postoperative dizziness (10% vs 21%, P&amp;lt;0.05), nausea or vomiting (4% vs 17%, P&amp;lt;0.001), and skin pruritus(0% vs 9%, P&amp;lt;0.05)
