Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block Through Perichondrial Approach (M-TAPA) in Major Abdominal Surgeries

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2021-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study will be conducted to evaluate efficacy of ultrasound guided modified thoracoabdominal nerves block via a new perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) for postoperative analgesia in major abdominal surgeries in comparison to subcostal transverse abdominis plane (SCTAP) block.

It is hypothesized that M-TAPA block will be advantageous to SCTAP block as a promising effective alternative for analgesia for major abdominal surgeries with fewer side effects.
