NCT07138794
Brief Summary:
This study aims to compare ultrasound-guided subtransverse process interligamentary (STIL) block versus thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing open nephrectomy.
Detailed Description:
Acute pain physiopathology is explained as it is mediated by inflammatory cell infiltration, activation of spinal cord pain pathways, and also by reflexive muscle spasm. All of these three mechanisms of acute pain are typically ameliorated during the postoperative recovery.
A thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) shows comparable analgesic efficacy with fewer side effects compared with thoracic epidural analgesia in patients undergoing thoracotomy.
The recently introduced subtransverse process interligamentary (STIL) block offers a safer alternative by targeting thoracic nerves without entering paravertebral space.
