About

Relieving postoperative nephrectomy pain requires multimodal approaches. Peripheral blocks such as ESP block and M-TAPA block and multimodal analgesics reduce side effects by reducing the use of other analgesics. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of erector spinae plane block (ESP block) and modified thoracoabdominal nerve blocking with perichondrial approach (M-TAPA block) in postoperative analgesia management in nephrectomy cases.

Full description

Relieving postoperative nephrectomy pain requires multimodal approaches. The most commonly used in the treatment of pain are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and infiltration of local anesthetics. Due to the side effects of NSAIDs and opioids, the application of regional analgesia techniques can reduce complications while providing better analgesia quality. Peripheral blocks such as ESP block and M-TAPA block and multimodal analgesics reduce side effects by reducing the use of other analgesics. Pain is considered one of the most important factors affecting the quality of healing. Postoperative pain delays the postanesthesia care unit, hospital stay, early ambulation, increases resource utilization, and negatively affects patient satisfaction. If postoperative analgesia is provided, all these negativities will be eliminated. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of erector spinae plane block (ESP block) and modified thoracoabdominal nerve blocking with perichondrial approach (M-TAPA block) in postoperative analgesia management in nephrectomy cases.

Trial design

60 participants in 2 patient groups

M-TAPA Block

Description:

Patients who have standard anesthesia are randomized with the research randomizer application while under anesthesia and M-TAPA block is applied under ultrasound guidance in the preoperative period. For the block, 50 mg of 0.25% bupivacaine and 100 mg lidocaine are injected, totaling 20cc.

Treatment:

Other: NRS 12. Hour

Other: NRS 24. Hour

Other: NRS 0. hour

Other: NRS 6. Hour

ESP Block

Description:

Patients who have standard anesthesia are randomized with the research randomizer application while under anesthesia and ESP block is applied under ultrasound guidance in the preoperative period. For the block, 50 mg of 0.25% bupivacaine and 100 mg lidocaine are injected, totaling 20cc.

Treatment:

Other: NRS 12. Hour

Other: NRS 24. Hour

Other: NRS 0. hour

Other: NRS 6. Hour
