Ultrasound-guided Retrolaminar Block groupTransverses Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block Group
Ultrasound-guided Retrolaminar Block group: Ultrasound-guided bilateral retrolaminar block performed before surgery using the study local anesthetic.
Transverses Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block Group: Ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block performed before surgery using the study local anesthetic.
Study summary
This study aims to compare and evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound guided retrolaminar block versus transverse abdominis plane block in laparoscopic upper abdominal surgeries. Both RLB and TAP blockade are hypothesized to reduce analgesic consumption, manage pain effectively and minimize side effects but their comparative effectiveness has not yet to be thoroughly explored.
