About

Transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) is a relatively new, easy-to-apply and safe regional anesthesia technique used to provide postoperative analgesia in various surgeries. It has been shown that TFPB and rectus sheath block (RSB) administration reduces opioid consumption and related side effects in patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. To our knowledge, there is no study examining TFPB in donor nephrectomy.

The investigators aimed to prospectively examine the effect of TFPB and RSB on opioid consumption in postoperative period on donors who will undergo laparoscopic nephrectomy in renal transplantation surgery.
