Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Lumbar plexus

Patients received a preoperative lumbar plexus nerve block (20 ml, ropivacaine 0.5%) for postoperative pain management.

No interventions assigned to this group

Lumbar Epidural

Patients received a lumbar epidural preoperatively for postoperative pain management. Epidural infusions of ropivacaine 0.2% were initiated intraoperatively, administered until the morning of postoperative day 1, and titrated to patient comfort.
