No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Laparoscopic appendectomy is the most frequently performed surgery in patients who develop acute appendicitis. This surgical technique is more advantageous than an open appendectomy in terms of fewer complications, less postoperative pain, and a faster return to normal daily activities. Even though the laparoscopic technique is minimally invasive, postoperative pain is inevitable. Furthermore, it may affect the patients' mobility and cause them to stay in the hospital for a more extended period .The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and the safety of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block versus ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) as postoperative analgesia methods after laparoscopic appendectomy.
