Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Total postoperative rescue analgesic (opioid) consumption.

    Total amount of intravenous tramadol administered as a rescue analgesic will be recorded

    At 24 hours postoperatively (Cumulative total over the 24-hour period)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Postoperative pain scores evaluated by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    At 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours postoperatively.

  • Incidence of opioid-related side effects and block-related complications.

    During the 24-hour postoperative period.

Study Arms (2)

Sacral ESPB Group

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block

Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Drug: Standard Postoperative Analgesia

Interventions

Immediately after the surgical procedure and before extubation, ultrasound-guided (Vivid Q) Sacral ESPB will be applied to the patient in the prone position using a total volume of 20 ml.

Sacral ESPB Group

No block will be applied to this group. Both groups will receive intravenous 400 mg ibuprofen and 100 mg tramadol 20 minutes before the end of the surgery, and routine 1000 mg paracetamol every 8 hours postoperatively

Control Group
