Inclusion criteria

* Children aged 7 years and older but under 18 undergoing iliac bone grafting for alveoloplasty

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with diseases that affect pain sensitivity differently from the general population (e.g., congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, complex regional pain syndrome, etc.) * Cases where there is difficulty in expressing pain (due to cognitive or functional deficits, or limited ability to communicate) * Unstable vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure) * Common contraindications for Ropivacaine: 1) Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to this drug or other amide local anesthetics, 2) Patients in a state of major bleeding or shock, 3) Patients with inflammation at or around the site of administration, 4) Patients with sepsis, 5) Intravenous regional anesthesia (Bier block) * History of allergy to opioid medications * Severe renal impairment (Creatinine \>3.0mg/dL) * Severe liver function abnormalities (aspartate transaminase \> 120 unit/L, alanine aminotransferase \> 120 unit/L) * Peripheral nervous system disorders * Other cases deemed unsuitable by the researcher

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
total consumption of opioid (mcg/kg)from the end of surgery up to 24 hours latertotal opioid consumption at 24 hours after the end of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total consumption of non-opioid (mg/kg)within 24 hours after the end of surgeryNon-opioid analgesics usage per body weight within 24 hours after surgery
Cold sensationat 30 minutes after the end of surgeryEvaluation of the distribution of lost cold sensation in the skin in the recovery room (Dermatomal distribution of the loss of cold sensation using an alcohol swab at post-anesthesia care unit, assessed by a blinded assessor in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit).
The incidence of side effects of analgesic medications (percent)within 24 hours after the end of surgeryAnalgesic-related side effects (nausea, vomiting, constipation, pruritis, dizziness, dry mouth, somnolence, etc.) within 24 hours after surgery.
Postoperative Pain scoreat 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours after the end of surgeryPain scores is assessed by Numerical Rating Scale, which requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable
Sleep quality scoreat 24 hours after the end of surgeryQuality of sleep on the day of operation (satisfaction score, 0-100 points, with 100 being very satisfied and 0 being very dissatisfied).
Procedure time (min)within 10 minutes after the end of surgerytotal procedure time from needle puncture to the end of block
First ambulation (hours)within 24 hours after the end of surgeryTime to first ambulation (hours)
Satisfaction scoreat 24 hours after the end of surgeryPatient satisfaction score (0-100 points, with 100 being very satisfied and 0 being very dissatisfied).
