Post Operative Pain

Brief summary

Comparison of the effectiveness: Quadratus lumborum (QL) block by levobupivacaine with placebo.

Detailed description

All patients will receive standard anaesthesia using fentanyl, protocol, cisatracurium and sevoflurane. Prevention of nausea and vomiting is performing using Apfel score. All patients will receive post operative multimodal analgesia using paracetamol, ketoprofen, tramadol, and trimeperidine if numerical rating scale \> 3 The study assumes use of QL block by levobupivacaine.in comparison with placebo in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of QL block during the operation.

Interventions

PROCEDUREQuadratus lumborum block

QL block will be used for perioperative anesthesia. The blockade will be performed bilaterally by levobupivacaine (20ml) at concentration 0.25%.

Masking description

Triple blindness. The Principal Investigator performing the blockade knows the randomization group. The anesthesiologist, postoperative pain assessor, and study participant do not know the randomization group.

Intervention model description

Distribution: randomized Intervention model: parallel distribution 2 groups * Control group: patients receiving general anesthesia with propofol, fentanyl and cisatracurium for induction and sevoflurane, fentanyl and cisatracurium for maintaining anesthesia. Patients receiving postoperative multimodal intravenous analgesia with paracetamol, ketoprofen, tramadol, and trimeperidine. Before surgery will be performde bilateral blockade of the QL muscle with normal saline. * Study group: patients receiving general anesthesia with propofol, fentanyl and cisatracurium for induction and sevoflurane, fentanyl and cisatracurium for maintaining anesthesia. Patients receiving postoperative multimodal intravenous analgesia with paracetamol, ketoprofen, tramadol, and trimeperidine. The QL blockade will be performed under ultrasound guidance using 20 ml of a solution of levobupivacaine 2.5 mg / ml.
