Summary

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy, duration of analgesia, and overall opioid consumption between the external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Conditions

  • Ultrasound
  • External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block
  • Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
  • Perioperative Analgesia
  • Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Interventions

OTHER

External oblique intercostal plane block

Patients will receive an ultrasound-guided bilateral external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block using 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine in each side after induction of anesthesia and prior to surgical incision.

OTHER

Subcostal transversus abdominis plane block

Patients will receive a bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block using 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine in each side, under ultrasound guidance and identical conditions.
