Filter by:Postoperative pain (POP) is frequently underestimated in general and little data are available particularly for POP after vitreoretinal surgery (VRS). The investigators will conduct a 1-year retrospective study on patients undergoing VRS at "Careggi Hospital" . The aim of the study will be to observe the amount of POP, its time course, factors associated with its appearance and finally the efficacy of the pain protocol that is in use.
Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is a newly described and effective interfascial plane block for thoracic and abdominal surgery. It was first described by Forero et al. in 2016, effectiveness being reported in four cases. The paravertebral block has been successfully used in various surgical patient groups for purposes of anesthesia or postoperative pain management such as thoracotomy, breast surgery and abdominal surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic effects of erector spinae plane block and paravertebral block in patients undergoing video assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Serratus plane block (SPB) was first described in 2013 by Blanco and designed to primarily block the thoracic intercostal nerves. And this block provides sufficient analgesia lateral anterior and posterior part of thoracic wall.Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is a newly described and effective interfascial plane block for thoracic and abdominal surgery.

The aim of this study is to compare Serratus plane block and erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection
The objective of the study is to hopefully understand the most beneficial way to control pain after removing the gallbladder by keyhole surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). The investigators will investigate two groups of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. One group will receive the injection of local anaesthetic into the abdominal wall (TAP block) and into the wounds; the second group will have local anaesthetic into the wounds only. In order to have meaningful results, we anticipate a large number of participants would be required. Therefore we would test first whether it is technically possible to set up the study itself. The investigators will be looking at parameters (willingness of patients to be recruited, willingness of clinicians to recruit participants, number of eligible patients, follow-up rates, adherence/compliance rates, number of participants needed for an adequate sample size) that will allow to understand if such a larger trial is technically possible to set up.
It has been largely demonstrated that iv dexamethasone prolongs the duration of analgesia after peripheral nerve block. However, data are missing regarding the duration of analgesia after spinal block. The objective of this randomized controlled double-blinded trial is to assess whether intravenous dexamethasone administered after a spinal block, before the surgery would prolong sensory block characteristics without impacting the motor block duration.
A significant component of pain experienced after abdominal surgery is related to incision of the abdominal wall and adequate analgesia can be a challenge. The ultrasound-guided (USG) quadratus lumborum block QLB was first described by Rafael Blanco in a presentation at ESRA 2007 at the XXVI Annual ESRA Congress in Valencia, Spain. Blanco described a potential space posterior to the abdominal wall muscles and lateral to the quadratus lumborum muscle where Local anesthetics can be injected. This technique provide analgesia after abdominal surgery due to spread of LA from its lumbar deposition cranially into the thoracic paravertebral space where lateral and anterior cutaneous branches from Th7 to L1 can be blocked . This was proved by Carney et al. who found traces of contrast agent in the TPVS following application of this block A novel USG QL block is the transmuscular approach which relies on clearly identifiable sonographic bony landmarks, Where the needle is advanced through the QL muscle, penetrating the ventral proper fascia of the QL muscle and LA is finally injected between the QL and Psoas major (PM) muscle. The transmuscular QL block does not result in redundant antero-lateral spread of the injectate. This may indicate that lower volumes of LA potentially can be used and yet provide extensive thoracolumbar anesthesia. This study was designed to compare the duration of analgesia provided by the original QLB and transmuscular QLB in patients undergoing surgical repair of unilateral inguinal hernia.
This study compares the transversalis fascia plane block with the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block in children undergoing hernia repair surgery. Half of participants will receive the transversalis fascia plane block, while the other will receive the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block.
The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the recovery after cesarean section in patients who will receive Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) as a part of multimodal analgesia using Postoperative quality of recovery scale.
Multimodal analgesia is used to control postoperative pain in inguinal hernia repair. Transversus abdominis plane block is an effective regional anesthesia technique for postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernia repairs. The erector spinae plane block applied to thelow thoracic region was also reported to provide effective analgesia in these surgeries. In this study, we aimed to determine and compare the effects of transversus abdominis plane block and lumbar erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain in inguinal hernia repairs.
The Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery Intercostal Nerve Block Trial is a single center, double-blind, randomized, active-comparator controlled clinical trial to assess the analgesic efficacy of intercostal nerve block by Liposomal Bupivacaine versus Standard Bupivacaine in subjects undergoing lung resection by robotic or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
