Laparoscopic prostatectomy (LP) is characterized by substantial tissue trauma, despite its minimally -invasive approach. Although postoperative pain intensity is lower when compared to open procedures, the use of opioids is common. Retrospective review of available LP cases revealed that although analgesic demand varied, nearly all of our LP patients required opioids postoperatively. Bilateral Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB), being one of relatively new features of regional anesthesia, offers good analgesia of abdominal wall, with the potential for control of visceral pain. This study was established to evaluate its effectiveness in alleviating pain after radical prostatectomy in a double - blind, placebo - controlled manner.

Double blind, placebo-controlled, randomised

Solution used for block (local anesthetic or placebo) is known to anesthetist not involved in patient's care.

Ultrasound-guided Quadratus Lumborum Block for Postoperative Pain Control After Endoscopic Prostatectomy - Double Blinded, Placebo-controlled, Randomised Trial.

Oxycodone consumption with Patient-Controlled Analgesia pump

Pain scores assessed with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).In this scale pain intensity is expressed using one of the numbers 0 - 10, 0 being no pain and 10 worst pain imaginable.

Time in minutes from emergence from anesthesia to the first request for opioid

The occurence of symptoms and conditions related to the use of opioids, like nausea, ileus, itching
