Pediatric postoperative pain management may require a multimodal approach. Single injection erector spinae plane (ESP) block may provide prolonged opioid-sparing postoperative analgesiain pediatric patients. We present a pediatric case of ESP block for postoperative analgesia after intussusception surgery.Surgical reduction was planned for 9-month-old patient after a trial of hydrostatic enema reduction had failed.We performed ultrasound guided unilateral bi-level ESP block. ESP block provided effective postoperative visceral and somatic pain relief and opioid sparing analgesia in our case.
