Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary indication for superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) block is visceral pelvic pain, most commonly from malignancy of the ovary, uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum or prostate. Per-cutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. During minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, percutaneous technique can be done under the guidance of cameras.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Laparoscopic surgeries have many advantages over open surgeries. Laparoscopic procedures are mostly preferred for surgical treatment of gynecologic diseases, because of best cosmetically results, less perioperative complications, early recovery, and less postoperative pain.

There are many undesirable effects of systemic reactions to the pain. Accordingly, multi-modal analgesic approach (including nerve blocks) for postoperative acute pain can decrease the side effects of the drugs (especially opioids) significantly.

The primary indication for superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) block is visceral pelvic pain, most commonly from malignancy of the ovary, uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum or prostate. Per-cutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. During minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, per-cutaneous technique can be done under the guidance of cameras.

SHP block has been performed by anesthetists or surgeons in Kocaeli Derince Training and Research Hospital regularly since they have discovered the advantages of this block technique. SHP can be useful to decrease postoperative pain scores and opioid or NSAID consumption significantly.

Study Groups

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

Hypo

The participants with a superior hypogastric block

Procedure/Surgery: superior hypogastric block

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

superior hypogastric blockade during surgery

NoHypo

The participants without a superior hypogastric block; the patients with an epidural catheter, who receive a different block technique (ie: TAP block), or who are unsuitable for SHP block (ie: if retroperitone is opened intraoperatively by the surgeon)

No interventions assigned to this group
