Abdominal Wall Nerve Blockade: A Comparison With Local Port Site Injection as Well as Between the Use of Ultrasound and Laparoscopy to Guide Placement

NCT02945696 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-03-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators will perform a prospective randomized study to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic-guided abdominal wall nerve blocks with local wound site infiltration and with ultrasounded guided abdominal wall blocks.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

laparoscopic guided nerve blocks

It is common to use ultrasound to define the correct plane for abdominal wall nerve blocks, however, the utilization of laparoscopy to identify this plane is a new intervention that is previously undescribed in children.

DRUG

Ropivacaine

Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic used to prevent pain during and after procedures. In this study, ropivacaine will be injected either directly at the port sites, or for a regional abdominal wall nerve block, either under ultrasound or laparoscopic guidance.
