Summary
The main advantage of Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) compared to Transversus Abdominalis
Plane Block (TAPB) is the impact on visceral pain due to the spread of the local anaesthetic
agent to the paravertebral space. It may produce extensive analgesia and better pain control.
Previews studies shoved the effectiveness of TAPB in kidney transplantation procedure (KTX)
by reducing opioids requirements during and after the operation. QLB was not evaluating in
KTX procedure yet, but it reduced postoperative morphine requirement after cesarean section
under spinal anaesthesia.
The aim of this prospective, randomised controlled, multicenter, clinical study is to compare
the perioperative analgesic efficacy of QLB and TAPB in patients who had KTX under balanced
(general and regional) anaesthesia.
