Postoperative Analgesic Effect of Subcostal TAPB for Laparoscopic Gastrectomy

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-06-07
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This prospective, randomized, single blinded study is designed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block in gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy. We hypothesize that US guided subcostal TAP block with ropivacaine can significantly reduce postoperative opioid comparison in patients with laparoscopic gastrectomy.

• Phase: N/A
