NCT05999981

Brief Summary

Inadequate pain control after cesarean section surgery causes postpartum depression, persistent pain and delayed mother-infant bonding. The investigator's aim is to asses whether ultrasound guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) or transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block would improve postoperative quality of recovery and decrease postoperative opioid consumption after cesarean section surgery.

  • Adverse Reactions

    Postoperative 24th hour

Study Arms (2)

Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At TFPB group, the block will be performed by ultrasound guidance after completion of surgery. TFPB will be performed under ultrasonography guidance using a linear 6 to 13 megahertz ultrasound probe by the anesthesiologist. In TFPB group patients will receive 40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia bilaterally.

Procedure: Transversalis Fascia Plane Block

Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At TAP block group, the block will be performed by ultrasound guidance after completion of surgery. TAP blocks will be performed under ultrasonography guidance using a linear 6 to 13 megahertz ultrasound probe by the anesthesiologist. In TAP block group patients will receive 40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses in the fascial plane between internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle bilaterally.

Procedure: Transversus Abdominis Plane Block

Interventions

40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses will be injected by the anesthesiologist under ultrasonography guidance between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia bilaterally

Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) Group

40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses will be injected by the anesthesiologist under ultrasonography guidance in the fascial plane between internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle bilaterally

Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block Group
