Brief Summary

The most important determinant of the recovery in abdominal surgery is postoperative pain. Postoperative pain can be explained by 2 pathways connected to the peritoneum; The first is the parietal peritoneum, whose innervation is very rich and the other is the visceral peritoneum which is stimulated at the vagus level. Since 1950, they have been injecting local anesthetic for post-surgery pain. inflammation and peritoneal irritation are the most important factors of pain when acute appendicitis is diagnosed. . This increases the length of hospital stay and increases the cost of pain relief, and reduces patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the application of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block . local anesthetic injection to the port sites, intraperitoneal periappendiceal local anesthetic injection is compared with the control group without any local anesthetic application to investigate which group has more analgesic effectiveness and thus reduce the amount of analgesics needed postoperatively, hospitalization Shortening the duration of the patient and taking the patient comfort to the next level.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • compare of local anesthetic applying methods for postoperative pain relief by VAS (Visual Analog Scala)

    pain scores of the participants will be followed at postoperative 1,2,4,6,12,24 hour (up to 24 hours). (VAS: from 0 to 10, 0 = no pain, 10 = the worst pain) The higher score idicates the worse outcome.

    24 hours

Study Arms (4)

transversus abdominis plane Block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Transversus abdominis plane block (10 cc / 10 cc, 0.5% bupivacaine to the right and left transversus abdominis muscle regions) will be applied.

Drug: Bupivacaine

TROCHAR SITES LOCAL ANESTHETIC INJECTION

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

local anesthetic injection (6 cc to subxiphoid and infraumbilical trocar sites, 4 cc instead of 2 cc, 0.5% bupivacaine solution to be applied)

Drug: Bupivacaine

INTRAPERİTONEAL LOCAL ANESTHETIC SPREADING METHOD

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intraperitoneal direct vision of the appendix excision area-periappendiciall area under the direct injection of local anesthetic spraying process (percutaneous method injected into the periappendicial area 1: 1 diluted with 20 cc SF, 20 cc 0.5% bupivacaine solution total 40 cc spraying will be applied.

Drug: Bupivacaine
