Brief Summary

This study will define the postoperative analgesic effect of ESP block via amount of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and postoperative analgesic consumption (such as routinely and rescue analgesics) and compare the control group patients with retropubic radical prostatectomy .

Conditions

Postoperative Pain

Keywords

Ultrasound Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block; postoperative pain; retropubic radical prostatectomy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

  Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").

SHAM COMPARATOR

Peroperative and postoperative routine analgesic protocol will be performed (consist of intravenous analgesics and intravenous patient controlled analgesia) with no additional intervention (block) Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization will be performed. Intervention: Other: Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization

Other: Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization

ESP block

EXPERIMENTAL

In addition to routine analgesic protocol; before anaesthesia induction; bilateral ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block (ESP) (intervention) will be performed via USG guidance at Th9 level.Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization will be performed. Interventions: Procedure: Ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block Other: Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization

Drug: Ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block; Other: Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization

Interventions

Ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block DRUG

A high-frequency linear ultrasound transducer will be placed in a longitudinal parasagittal orientation 3 cm lateral to T9 spinous process. The erector spinae muscles will be identified superficial to the tip of T9 transverse process. The patient's skin will be anesthetized with 2% lidocaine. A 17-gauge 8-cm needle will be inserted using an in-plane superior-to-inferior approach to place the tip into the fascial plane on the deep (anterior) aspect of erector spinae muscle. The location of the needle tip will be confirmed by visible fluid spread lifting erector spinae muscle off the bony shadow of the transverse process. A total of 30 mL of 0.375% bupivacaine will be injected (maximum of 3mg/kg).

ESP block

Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization OTHER

Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain score will be recorded from 20th minute in recovery room followed by 1.-3.-6.-12.-18.-24.hours. Intravenous meperidine administration at 0.5 mg / kg rescue analgesia was determined in patients with a NSR score of 6 and over in the postoperative collection room. It is planned that the patient will continue to follow the hourly NRS score in ward. Intramuscular diclofenac will be administered in this period if NRS 6 and if it is over, intravenous 0.5 mg / kg meperidine will be administered if NRS score is 6 or more after 2 hours. Salvage analgesic needs and times will be noted in detail, and the use of rescue analgesics, as well as NRS scores at designated hours, will be kept in a statistical evaluation.
