Summary

Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) and Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks are regional anesthesia techniques that are frequently used to reduce postoperative pain and are an important part of the current analgesic regimen for many abdominal surgeries. In our clinic, researchers perform both blocks to provide postoperative analgesia. The primary aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of TAP block and QLB block in postoperative pain control in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Secondary outcomes evaluated in this study were to assess postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), time to discharge, and patient satisfaction.

Conditions

  • Pain, Postoperative

Interventions

PROCEDURE

TAP block

The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block was introduced as a landmark-guided technique via the triangle of Petit to achieve a field block. It involves the injection of a local anesthetic solution into a plane between the internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle.

PROCEDURE

QLB block

Quadratus lumborum block is a block of the posterior abdominal wall, "interfascial plane block," which is performed exclusively under ultrasound guidance. It was described as a variant of the TAP block.
