Plain-language summary

n obese patients, adequate pain relief in the postoperative period is a crucial parameter that affects patient comfort and hospital stay.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the external oblique intercostal block on postoperative dermatomal distribution, acute pain scores, and opioid consumption during the first 24 hours after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
