NCT05259345

Brief Summary

The aim of this randomised controlled study is to compare the effects of three different fascial plane block \[subcostal exterior semilunaris transverses abdominis plane (SE-TAP) block, modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA), and rectus sheath block (RSB)\] on postoperative pain levels and opioid consumption in patients undergoing major abdominal surgeries with midline incision.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality of Recovery

    Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40), a 40-item questionnaire that provides a global score and subscores across five dimensions; patient support, comfort, emotions, physical independence, and pain (minimum score of 40 and maximum of 200).

    At postoperative 24th hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Postoperative pain

    At postoperative 48 hours (2.,6.,12.,18.,24.,48.hours)

  • Opioid consumption

    At postoperative 48 hours (2.,6.,12.,18.,24.,48.hours)

Study Arms (3)

Group SE-TAP block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Bilateral subcostal exterior semilunaris transverses abdominis plane (SE-TAP) block will be performed with 20 mL of local anesthetic solution (10 mL of 5% bupivacaine + 5 mL of 2% lidocaine + 5 mL of saline)

Procedure: Bilateral SE-TAP

Group M-TAPA block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Bilateral modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) will be performed with 20 mL of local anesthetic solution (10 mL of 5% bupivacaine + 5 mL of 2% lidocaine + 5 mL of saline)

Procedure: Bilateral M-TAPA

Group RS block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Bilateral rectus sheath block will be performed with 20 mL of local anesthetic solution (10 mL of 5% bupivacaine + 5 mL of 2% lidocaine + 5 mL of saline)

Procedure: Bilateral RSB

Interventions

A 20 mL of local anesthetic solution (10 mL of 5% bupivacaine + 5 mL of 2% lidocaine + 5 mL of saline) will be given between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles toward the lateral border of the semilunar along the costal margin.

Also known as: Ultrasound guided bilateral subcostal exterior semilunaris transversus abdomens plane block
Group SE-TAP block

A 20 mL of local anesthetic solution (10 mL of 5% bupivacaine + 5 mL of 2% lidocaine + 5 mL of saline) will be given into the layer between the transverse abdominal muscle and the inferior plane of the costal cartilage at the midclavicular line, in the sagittal plane.

Also known as: Ultrasound guided bilateral modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA)
Group M-TAPA block
Bilateral RSBPROCEDURE

A 20 mL of local anesthetic solution (10 mL of 5% bupivacaine + 5 mL of 2% lidocaine + 5 mL of saline) will be given between the rectus muscle and posterior rectus sheath bilaterally.

Also known as: Ultrasound guided bilateral rectus sheath block
Group RS block
