Brief Summary:
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of anterior quadratus lumborum block (QLB3) and Erector Spina Plane Block (ESPB) on postoperative acute pain scores and opioid consumption in the first 24 hours in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery
Detailed Description:
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is commonly used to treat large kidney stones. Patients usually complain of severe pain and discomfort postoperatively. Postoperative pain prolongs hospital stay, delays wound healing, increases infection rates, and increases the incidence of drug side effects.
Regional anesthesia is part of multimodal analgesia in treating postoperative pain. Facial plane blocks are among these procedures. Erector spina plane block (ESPB) is a peri-paravertebral regional anesthesia technique applied for the first time to treat thoracic neuropathic pain. In the literature, the effectiveness of upper abdomen and renal operations in pain management has been demonstrated. Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) was first described as an alternative to the transversus abdominis plane block. This block can be performed with three methods under ultrasound guidance. An anterior QLB (QLB3) block was used in this study. In this block, the local anesthetic drug is applied between the quadratus lumborum muscle and the psoas muscle fascia and spreads along the thoracolumbar fascia. This block provides anesthesia and analgesia in the T7-L1 dermatome area. QLB3 block has been applied in pyeloplasty, cholecystectomy, lower abdominal surgeries, cesarean sections, radical nephrectomy, and hip joint surgeries and provided adequate postoperative analgesia.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of QLB3 block and ESPB block on pain scores and opioid consumption in patients undergoing PCNL.
Patients will be divided into three groups.
Group QLB3:
Patients who applied the OLB3 block and IV morphine-patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) before PCNL surgery were included in this group.
Group ESPB:
Patients who applied ESPB block and IV morphine-PCA before PCNL surgery were included in this group.
Group Control In this group, patients only applied general anesthesia and IV morphine-PCA.
