This study assesses the efficacy of the quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in the management of procedural and periprocedural pain associated with small renal mass cryoablation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that examines the use of QLB for pain management during percutaneous cryoablation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A single-center retrospective review was conducted for patients who underwent cryoablation for RCC with QLB between October 2020 and October 202The primary study endpoint included a total dose of procedural conscious sedation and administered, postprocedural analgesia. Technical success in cryoablation was achieved in every case. No patients required additional analgesic during or after the procedure, and no complications resulted from the use of the QLB. The QLB procedure appears to be an effective locoregional block for the management of procedural and periprocedural pain associated with renal mass cryoablation.
