Ultrasonography-guided and Surgical Rectus Sheath Block in Single-port Access Laparoscopy

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2017-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

Rectus sheath block is effective in reducing pain in the peri-umbilical region, and the use of ultrasonography is recommended to perform the block at the precise location. Recently, intra-operative rectus sheath block has also been introduced without the aid of ultrasonography. However, no study has not yet compared the analgesic effects of these two different approaches (ultrasonography-guided vs direct surgical). Thus, the aim of our study is to compare the effect of ultrasonography-guided and direct-surgical rectus sheath block after single-port access laparoscopy in benign ovary cyst patients.
