Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality of Recovery (QoR-40) score

    QoR-40, a 40-item questionnaire that provides a global score and subscores across five dimensions: patient support, comfort, emotions, physical independence, and pain. Each item is rated on a scale of 1-5, providing a minimum score of 40 and maximum of 200.

    postoperative 24 hour

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Postoperative pain: numeric rating scale (NRS)

    Postoperative 24 hours

  • Analgesic consumption

    Postoperative 24 hour

Study Arms (2)

ESP Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In addition to routine standard perioperative and postoperative analgesia protocol patients will receive a single shot of local anesthetic injection at the erector spinae plane.

Other: local anesthetic injection

Control

OTHER

Patients will receive standard perioperative and postoperative analgesia protocol.

Other: Standard perioperative and postoperative analgesia protocol.

Interventions

A linear ultrasound transducer will be place in a longitudinal parasagittal orientation about 3 cm lateral to spinous process. Local anesthetic mixture will be injected bilaterally into the fascial plane on the deep aspect of erector spinae muscle. Standard perioperative and postoperative analgesia protocol will be given and postoperative pain levels will be determined by Numerical rating scale (NRS).

ESP Group

Standard perioperative and postoperative analgesia protocol will be given consisting of paracetamol 1 gr IV and tenoxicam 20 mg IV initiated after induction of anesthesia. At the end of the operation patients will receive contramal 1 mg/kg IV before extubation. Postoperative pain levels will be determined by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) system, 20 minutes intervals in the first hour and at 2th, 6th, 12th and 24 th hour. For the first hour in the postoperative care unit, tramadol 50 mg IV will be given for rescue analgesia with minimum 20 minutes between doses, in patients showing a NRS ≥ 4. Paracetamol 1 g / 12 hour will be given during ward follow-up. In the ward in patients showing a NRS ≥ 4 tramadol 50 mg IV will be given for analgesia.
