Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trail is to determine if bilateral erector spinae plane block alone can provide good perioperative analgesia for abdominoplastic surgery patients or it is better to give combined bilateral rectus sheath and erector spinae plane blocks to achieve effective intraoperative and postoperative analgesia with minimal morphine consumption in such operations in which there is an extensive surgical dissection and a high risk of respiratory problems.

Detailed description

This study is randomized controlled trail in which 40 adult patients (male or female) scheduled for elective abdominoplastic surgeries during the study duration will be randomized into to equal groups to investigate the efficacy of erector spinae plane block alone versus the efficacy of combine use of erector spinae and rectus sheath plane block for intra and postoperative analgesia in abdominoplastic surgery patients.

Interventions

PROCEDUREErector spinae plane block

the patient will recieve ultrasound guided erector spinae plane blockbe. A 20-gauge needle will be placed between the erector spinae muscle and the thoracic transverse processes at the level of T10 using an 'in plane' technique, 20 ml of (0.25% bupivacaine and 1% xylocaine) will be injected on each side.

PROCEDURERectus sheath block

the patient will recieve ultrasound guided rectus sheath block. An 18-gauge needle will be introduced- in plane- just below the costal margin at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the skin between the rectus abdominis muscle and posterior rectus sheath. 10 ml of (0.25% bupivacaine and 1% xylocaine) will be injected on each side.
