Laparoscopic cholecystectomy causes moderate to severe pain despite its minimally invasive nature. This study was performed to compare the efficacy of the bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and the subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (STAPB) under ultrasound guidance. 64 patients were included in this prospective, randomized study. The patients were allocated into two groups as those receiving ESPB ( n  = 32) and those receiving STAPB ( n  = 32). Pain scores at rest and during movement, fentanyl requirement, postoperative walking time, and duration of hospital stay were compared. The complications which related to block were also recorded. In the ESPB group, the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores at rest were lower at hour 0 [at the time of post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) admission] and postoperative hours 2, 4, 6, and 12 ( p  &lt; 0.05). In the same group, the NRS scores at movement were lower at hours 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 ( p  &lt; 0.05). In the ESPB group, the time to first analgesic need was longer ( p  &lt; 0.05), intraoperative and postoperative Fentanyl requirement ( p  &lt; 0.0001 for both) and PACU rescue analgesic requirement were lower ( p  &lt; 0.05), the lengths of PACU and hospital stay were shorter ( p  &lt; 0.0001), and unassisted walking time was shorter ( p  &lt; 0.0001). There were no complications related to the block in either group. Bilateral ultrasound-guided ESPB provides superior analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery compared to STAPB and further reduces unaided walking time and hospital stay.
