Clinical Trial Summary

Our hypothesis was that transversus abdominis plane block plus retrolaminar block would reduce postoperative sufentanil consumption and provide superior analgesia compared with transversus abdominis plane block plus quadratus lumborum block for laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Intervention

Procedure:
• Retrolaminar block on the operative side
After the skin near the puncture site was disinfected, 2ml of 1% lidocaine was injected into the puncture site for local infiltration. The needle was inserted beneath the ultrasound probe using an in-plane orientation to contact the lamina of the T8-T11 vertebra. Then we retracted the tip of needle to the lamina about 1 mm and withdrew to make sure that there was no blood or cerebrospinal fluid. Then, 30-40 mL mixture was injected posterior to the lamina of T8-T11.
• Quadratus lumborum block on the operative side
In our study, we applied a transmuscular approach to the QLB. After the patients were placed in the lateral position, the skin near the puncture site was disinfected, a low-frequency (3-5 MHz), curvilinear probe is used and is located vertical to the iliac crest at the posterior axillary line to find the Shamrock sign. After the local infiltration for puncture site, the 22-G needle is then inserted in plane and directed to the QL muscle. After the proper position of the needle tip between the psoas major muscle and the QL muscle is confirmed, 30 ml mixture is injected into the interfascial plane.
• Transversus abdominis plane block on the nonoperative side
After placing the patients in the supine position, the skin was disinfected. A linear probe was placed in the transverse plane at the midaxillary line between the lower costal margin and iliac crest. When the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis muscles were observed, 2ml of 1% lidocaine was injected into the puncture site for local infiltration.Then, a 22-gauge, 80-mm needle was advanced using an in-plane technique in an anteromedial to posterolateral direction toward the TAP (the fascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles). After the correct position of the needle tip was verified, 20 ml mixture was injected into the TAP. The ultrasound showed that the local anesthetic separated the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, confirming the success of the block.

Secondary	the number of PCA press	the outcome in frequency	within 24 hour after nerves block
Secondary	time until the earliest rescue analgesia and antiemetic	the outcome in minutes	within 24 hour after nerves block
Secondary	the total dose of rescue analgesia and antiemetic	the outcome in milligrams	within 24 hour after nerves block
Secondary	block-related complications	such as hematoma, infection, quadriceps weakness, pneumothorax, deep visceral injury, and evidence of systemic toxicity to the local anesthetic	within 24 hour after nerves block
Secondary	other side events	such as bradycardia (HR less than 60 beats per min), hypotension (systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg or more than 20% lower than baseline), hypoxemia (SpO2 less than 90%), respiratory depression (RR less than 10 breaths per min lasting for more than 10 min), pruritus, backache, nausea and vomiting	within 24 hour after nerves block
