Summary
Rectus sheath block (RSB) is a kind of anterior abdominal wall block. It has postoperative
analgesic effect for abdominal surgery with midline incision. Robotic gynecologic surgery is
accompanied by significant postoperative pain and usually IV-PCA is used to manage the
pain.The purpose of this study is to investigate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided
RSB to single-port robotic gynecologic surgery which has incision site at umbilical area.
Patients will randomly assigned to two groups, RSB group and Control group. Each patients
will assessed for time to first rescue analgesia, verbal numerical rating pain scores, number
of rescue analgesic demands, and postoperatively opioids use by IV-PCA by a blinded
investigator at 0, 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively.
