Comparison of QLB and TFP Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia
Sponsor: Medipol University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of ultrasound-guided lateral Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) and Transversalis Fascia Plane (TFP) block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Ninety patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group QLB, Group TFP, or Group Control. The primary objective is to compare postoperative pain scores (NRS) at various time points within the first 24 hours. Secondary objectives include evaluating the need for rescue analgesia, total tramadol consumption, and the incidence of opioid-related side effects.
