Transversalis Fascia Plane Block

This prospective randomized non-inferiority trial is designed to compare postoperative analgesic effect of transversalis fascia plane block and posterior quadratus lumborum block in hand assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Posoperative opioid consumption, numeric rating scale pain scores and adverse effects will be assessed during the trial.

Inguinal hernia is a common surgical condition, and open inguinal hernia repair may be associated with significant postoperative pain. Inadequate pain control can delay early mobilization, reduce patient comfort, and increase the need for opioid analgesics. Therefore, effective postoperative pain management is an important component of perioperative care. Several analgesic strategies can be used after open inguinal hernia repair, including systemic multimodal analgesia, neuraxial opioids, and regional anesthesia techniques. Intrathecal morphine can provide prolonged postoperative analgesia but may be associated with opioid-related adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, urinary retention, and respiratory depression. Ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block is a regional anesthesia technique designed to provide analgesia to the inguinal region while potentially reducing systemic opioid requirements. The aim of this prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded, controlled trial is to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of intrathecal morphine, transversalis fascia plane block, and spinal anesthesia alone in adult patients undergoing elective open unilateral inguinal hernia repair.

This prospective clinical study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) and the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Effective and long-lasting postoperative analgesia is essential for patient and parental satisfaction in pediatric anesthesia. With recent advances in ultrasound technology, regional anesthesia techniques have become increasingly utilized in pediatric practice. In the TAP block, local anesthetic is injected between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, providing analgesia typically between Torachal vertebra 10 (T10) and Lumbar vertebra (L1) dermatomes. The transversalis fascia plane block, developed as a modification of this approach, targets the proximal portions of the T12 and L1 nerves by depositing local anesthetic between the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia, potentially offering wider sensory coverage. This study compares both blocks in terms of postoperative pain scores, duration of analgesia, and requirement for rescue analgesics in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The results are expected to contribute to the optimization of regional anesthesia techniques and improve pain management strategies in pediatric surgical patients.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether two different analgesic techniques - ultrasound-guided Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) and surgical wound infiltration - can improve postoperative pain control in adult patients undergoing open inguinal hernia repair. The key questions that this study aims to answer are: Does TFPB reduce total intravenous opioid consumption within the first 24 postoperative hours compared with wound infiltration? Does TFPB improve postoperative pain scores at rest and during movement compared with wound infiltration? Does TFPB improve patient satisfaction, reduce the need for rescue analgesics, and enhance overall postoperative recovery quality? If there is a comparison group: The investigators will compare the effects of TFPB with wound infiltration to determine whether either technique provides superior postoperative analgesia and reduces opioid requirements. Participants will be asked to: Undergo open inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia. Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: TFPB Group: Receive an ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block with local anesthetic. Wound Infiltration Group: Receive local anesthetic infiltration performed by the surgeon along the incision line. Postoperatively: Report pain scores at defined intervals. Receive standardized IV analgesia with documentation of opioid consumption. Allow assessment of rescue analgesic requirement. Be monitored for adverse events and recovery outcomes.

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacy of the Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) and the Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block through Perichondrial Approach (M-TAPA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. The primary outcome is the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score within the first 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include total opioid consumption, requirement for rescue analgesia, block-related complications and adverse effects (hematoma, local anesthetic systemic complications, vascular puncture, and infection), patient satisfaction assessed using a Likert scale, quality of recovery assessed using the QoR-15 questionnaire, and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of the transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block and intrathecal dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing cesarean section (CS).
