Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the perioperative analgesic and intraoperative hemodynamic effects of ultrasound-guided bilateral recto-intercostal fascial plane block in patients undergoing laparoscopic Hiatus hernia repair.

Conditions

  • Rectointercostal
  • Laparoscopic
  • Hiatus Hernia

Interventions

DRUG

Rectointercostal facial plane block using bupivacaine 0.25%

Ultrasound guided bilateral recto-intercostal facial plane block will be done after induction of general anesthesia using bupivacaine 0.25%. A linear ultrasound transducer Philips CX50 (5-14 MHz) will be placed 2-3 cm lateral and caudal to the xiphoid in the epigastric area. The rectus abdominis muscle and its insertion, 6th and 7th cartilage ribs will be visualized. The needle will be inserted between rectus abdominis muscle and the costal cartilages with an in-plane technique in a caudal-cranial way. Hydro-dissection will be performed with 5 ml saline for confirmation needle tip position, 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected, the same procedure will be then repeated with 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine on the contra-lateral side (a total of 40 ml bilaterally).
