Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is widely used in the treatment of urinary tract stones and is generally applied to outpatients. To achieve fragmentation in ESWL, shock waves must be applied with sufficient power and time. Providing effective analgesia during this procedure is crucial to the success of the procedure. Erector Spinae Plan Block (ESPB) was first described in 2016 and, it is frequently used for postoperative analgesia in urinary system surgery. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of ESPB in patients undergoing ESWL.
