Transversalis Fascia Plane Versus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Children

This prospective clinical study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) and the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Effective and long-lasting postoperative analgesia is essential for patient and parental satisfaction in pediatric anesthesia. With recent advances in ultrasound technology, regional anesthesia techniques have become increasingly utilized in pediatric practice. In the TAP block, local anesthetic is injected between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, providing analgesia typically between Torachal vertebra 10 (T10) and Lumbar vertebra (L1) dermatomes. The transversalis fascia plane block, developed as a modification of this approach, targets the proximal portions of the T12 and L1 nerves by depositing local anesthetic between the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia, potentially offering wider sensory coverage. This study compares both blocks in terms of postoperative pain scores, duration of analgesia, and requirement for rescue analgesics in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The results are expected to contribute to the optimization of regional anesthesia techniques and improve pain management strategies in pediatric surgical patients.

Transversalis Fascia Plane Block Versus Surgical Wound Infiltration for Postoperative Analgesia in Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether two different analgesic techniques - ultrasound-guided Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) and surgical wound infiltration - can improve postoperative pain control in adult patients undergoing open inguinal hernia repair. The key questions that this study aims to answer are: Does TFPB reduce total intravenous opioid consumption within the first 24 postoperative hours compared with wound infiltration? Does TFPB improve postoperative pain scores at rest and during movement compared with wound infiltration? Does TFPB improve patient satisfaction, reduce the need for rescue analgesics, and enhance overall postoperative recovery quality? If there is a comparison group: The investigators will compare the effects of TFPB with wound infiltration to determine whether either technique provides superior postoperative analgesia and reduces opioid requirements. Participants will be asked to: Undergo open inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia. Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: TFPB Group: Receive an ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block with local anesthetic. Wound Infiltration Group: Receive local anesthetic infiltration performed by the surgeon along the incision line. Postoperatively: Report pain scores at defined intervals. Receive standardized IV analgesia with documentation of opioid consumption. Allow assessment of rescue analgesic requirement. Be monitored for adverse events and recovery outcomes.

Transversalis Fascia Plane Block Versus Intrathecal Morphine for Postoperative Analgesia in Total Abdominal Hysterectomy

This study aims to compare the ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block and intrathecal morphine for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH).
