Ultrasound-guided Bilateral Rectus Sheath Block for Robotic Single-port Gynecologic Surgery

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-01-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

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.
