Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety bilateral recto-intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) in epigastric hernia.


Clinical Trial Description

Epigastric hernias are usually occult in obese patients, and their symptoms may mimic peptic ulcer or gallbladder disease . Hernia repair is associated with considerable postoperative pain. The recto-intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) is a new novel approach that was developed by Tulgar et al., 2023 who hypothesized that when we inject a local anesthetic into the interfacial plane just inferolateral to the xiphoid, between the rectus abdominis muscle and the 6-7th costal cartilages (hence, between the cartilages and the intercostal muscles between them), blockade of the anterior branches of the nerves passing through this area can be guaranteed. ;
