Summary

Patients with kidney cancer often undergo hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy or Robot assisted partiel nephrectomy. The investigators performed a one-year retrospective study. the sudy revealed that 67% of the patients needed substantial amounts of opioids for postoperative pain management (PPM) in recovery despite a multimodal analgesic regime. In a prospective pilot study including ten laparoscopic hand-assisted nephrectomy, with severe postoperative pain the investigators found that bilateral Ultrasound-guided (USG) transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block substantially reduced pain and opioid consumption. This study aims to evaluate the effect on PPM of a bilateral USG TQL block compared to placebo.
