Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Epidural Block for Umbilical Hernia Analgesia

NCT07327463 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2026-03-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This observational study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and single-dose epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at predefined postoperative time points. The study seeks to determine which analgesic approach provides superior pain control and patient satisfaction in the postoperative period.

Conditions

  • Umbilical Hernia
  • Postoperative Pain Management

Interventions

OTHER

Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block

Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is performed as part of routine postoperative analgesia following general anesthesia in patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery. The procedure is administered by an experienced anesthesiologist using standard institutional practice. No additional procedures or medications are applied specifically for the purpose of this observational study.

OTHER

Single-Dose Epidural Anesthesia

Single-dose epidural anesthesia is administered as part of routine clinical practice to provide intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery. The technique is performed by an experienced anesthesiologist according to standard institutional protocols. No investigational interventions or study-specific modifications are implemented.
