Study Comparing Pain Relief Effects of Transversalis Fascia Plane Block in Adults Undergoing Kidney Transplant Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Renal transplantation is a major surgery linked to significant pain after the operation due to the incision and tissue involvement. Managing this pain well is important to help patients recover faster, reduce opioid use, and avoid side effects. This trial evaluates the pain control benefits of using a transversalis fascia plane block compared to standard pain management in patients undergoing kidney transplant surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives an ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block, where 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine is injected near abdominal muscles on the surgery side, alongside standard pain medications given during surgery. The other group receives the same standard pain medications but no nerve block. Both groups get intravenous tramadol before and after surgery and intravenous paracetamol at the end. During the study, pain scores on the day of surgery are closely monitored, along with opioid use during and after the operation. Researchers use ultrasound to guide the nerve block and confirm medication spread. The study uses triple masking and randomization to compare outcomes fairly. The goal is to assess how well the nerve block controls pain and reduces opioid needs after kidney transplant surgery.
