Brief Title: Qudratus Lumborum Block for Postoperative Pain After Endoscopic Prostatectomy.
Official Title: Ultrasound-guided Quadratus Lumborum Block for Postoperative Pain Control After Endoscopic Prostatectomy - Double Blinded, Placebo-controlled, Randomised Trial.
Study ID: NCT03600129
Brief Summary: 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.
