Brief Summary

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

In this study, the investigators compared ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on postoperative analgesic effect in pediatric abdominal surgeries

Detailed Description

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

After being informed about the study and potential risks, written consent was obtained from all patients. In order to effectively manage postoperative analgesia in patients planned for lower abdominal surgery (inguinal hernia and undescended testicles), patients will begin to be observed after routine anesthesia and block techniques applied to the patients. After these procedures, the block is applied to the patient using the appropriate method, under aseptic conditions and under ultrasound guidance. Intraoperative hemodynamic changes of the patients, intraoperative opioid consumption and bispectral index monitoring values of the patients will be kept throughout the peroperative period. Postoperative follow-ups will be made at 0nd, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th, and 24th hours to evaluate the initial analgesic consumption, need for analgesics types, pain levels, and parental satisfaction. In this way, it is aimed to compare the Transversalis Fascia Plan Block and Transversus Abdominis Plan Block as an effective analgesic application in lower abdominal surgery in children and to show the analgesic method that can be used effectively in postoperative pain management.
