NCT02783586: TAPB vs QLBII for Kidney Transplantation Procedure

Summary

The main advantage of Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) compared to Transversus Abdominalis Plane Block (TAPB) is the impact on visceral pain due to the spread of the local anaesthetic agent to the paravertebral space. It may produce extensive analgesia and better pain control. Previews studies shoved the effectiveness of TAPB in kidney transplantation procedure (KTX) by reducing opioids requirements during and after the operation. QLB was not evaluating in KTX procedure yet, but it reduced postoperative morphine requirement after cesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. The aim of this prospective, randomised controlled, multicenter, clinical study is to compare the perioperative analgesic efficacy of QLB and TAPB in patients who had KTX under balanced (general and regional) anaesthesia.
