NCT05447429

Brief Summary

Sleeve gastrectomy is the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Postoperative pain management is a challenging issue. In this trial, the investigators aimed to explore the effects of laparoscopic guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on postoperative pain management in patient those were performed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Study Arms (2)

TAP Block

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group ,TAP block will be performed with 0.5% 15 ml bupivacaine + 5 ml .

Procedure: Transversus abdominis plane block

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

In this group , 20 ml saline solution will injected into the transversus abdominis plane.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

TAP block will be performed by a needle which is punctured at the midaxillary line between subcostal margin and iliac crest, once tip of the needle had detected just above the peritoneum the syringe pulled back.

Model Details: Forty patients had divided into two groups; TAP block group (TAP-B) and placebo (P) group. Every group contained 20 patients and randomization was performed by sealed envelope method. Patient and the data collector resident didn't know the which procedure was done thus single-blinded randomization were provided.
