Early postoperative recovery in the groups.

Notes: The time to first ambulation (A), the time to first exhaust (B), and the time to first fluid intake (C) in Groups DQG and QG were higher quality compared with Group GA (P < 0.05). However, the above-mentioned parameters were not significantly different between Groups DQG and QG (P > 0.05). The data were given as mean ± SD. A P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Data were compared by one-way ANOVA among groups and post hoc pairwise comparison of the groups. Group GA, GA alone; Group QG, SQLB with 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine and GA; Group DQG, SQLB with 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine plus 1 μg/kg DEX and GA.

Abbreviations: GA, general anesthesia; SQLB, subcostal anterior quadratus lumborum block; DEX, dexmedetomidine.
