Clinical Trial Summary

Comparing the impact of bilateral erector spinae plane block and transverse abdominis plane block on improving quality of pain management after umbilical hernia repair.


Clinical Trial Description

Postoperative pain is an important problem after umbilical hernia repair which has negative effects on patient's hemodynamics and cause delayed ambulation resulting in prolonged duration of hospital stay and poor patient satisfaction. Multiple analgesic strategies have been proposed including Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, epidural analgesia. Each of them has its limitations. Ultra¬sound guided regional anesthesia techniques for abdominal wall can be effective components of multimodal postoperative analgesia with limited side-effects Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a promising para-spinal bock that can achieve both visceral and somatic abdominal analgesia if the injection was performed at a lower thoracic level. Transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block which is considered a peripheral nerve block that is aimed at anesthetizing nerves supplying the anterior abdominal wall. We will compare between erector spinae plane block and transverse abdominis plane block for controlling postoperative pain after umbilical hernia repair. Patients will be allocated randomly into two equal groups by a computer-generated randomization table Group (E) (n=26): Patients will receive erector spinae plane (ESP) block after completion of surgery. Group (T) (n= 26): Patients will receive oblique subcostal transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block after completion of surgery ;
