    postoperative 24 hours

Study Arms (2)

ESP block group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Before anaesthesia induction; bilateral ESP block will be performed under the guidance of USG. Patients will be administered paracetamol 1 gr IV every 8 hours in the postoperative period. Standardized postoperative tramadol i.v. patient controlled analgesia (PCA) protocol will be performed (3 mg/ml, total volume 100 ml, 10 mg bolus dose, 20 min locked period, without continuous delivery, no basal infusion).

Procedure: ESP block group

Control group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Patients will be administered paracetamol 1 gr IV every 8 hours in the postoperative period. Standardized postoperative tramadol i.v. PCA analgesia protocol will be performed (3 mg/ml, total volume 100 ml, 10 mg bolus dose, 20 min locked period, without continuous delivery, no basal infusion).

Procedure: Control group

Interventions

USG probe will be placed in a longitudinal parasagittal orientation 3 cm lateral to T7 spinous process. The erector spinae muscles will be identified hyperechoic transverse process. The patient's skin will be anesthetized with 2% lidocaine. A 21-gauge 10-cm needle was inserted using an in-plane superior-to-inferior approach or an out-plane approach. Following confirmation of the correct position of the needle with 5 ml normal saline, a dose of 20 ml %0.25 bupivacaine will be administered. The same procedure will be performed at the other site (totally 40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine). Standard pain follow up and monitorization will be performed.

ESP block group
Control groupPROCEDURE

The patients in this group will be performed no block. Standard pain follow up and monitorization will be performed.

Control group
