Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of bilateral erector spinae plane block and bilateral external oblique-intercostal plane block in patients undergoing open ventral hernia repair.

Full description

The effectiveness of trunk blocks applied at equivalent doses will be evaluated in order to most effectively treat postoperative pain, minimize nausea and vomiting, and optimize the comfort of patients during the postoperative period after open ventral hernia repair operations. The methods used in this study are proven safe in ventral hernia repair surgery and other abdominal surgeries, and are routinely performed in our clinic. The procedures performed pose no additional risks to patients compared to routine procedures.
