Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Acute postoperative pain proper management is important not only for patient satisfaction but also for patient outcome. It may also predispose patients to chronic post-surgical pain .Open nephrectomy is still conducted, although the use of laparoscopic or robotic surgery has increased recently. A flank approach with an eleventh rib partial resection.Several modalities have been implemented for acute postoperative pain control. Intravenous (IV) opioids is one of the earliest and most widely used method, it is insufficient only for managing postoperative pain in some patients with severe pain besides their side effects.ESPB is a relatively simple technique with easily identified sonographic landmarks. Additionally, the ESPB has the potential to provide both somatic and visceral sensory blockade.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ESPB in acute postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing open nephrectomy in renal cancer patients.
