At 6 h postoperatively, ESPB group also reported markedly lower pain scores (2.13 ± 2.13) compared with GA group (4.53 ± 1.25), a difference that was highly significant ( p < 0.001).

Levels T5 ( p = 0.056) and T8 ( p = 0.075) showed a trend toward significance but did not reach the 0.05 threshold.
These findings suggest that, in this subgroup, postoperative changes in cutaneous temperature at individual dermatomes were minimal and did not reach statistical significance ( Table 4 ).
