Ultrasound-guided Retrolaminar Block vs TAP Block in Laparoscopic Upper Abdominal Surgery
This study tests whether retrolaminar block works as well as a TAP block to reduce pain and opioid use after laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery in adults aged 21–65.
-
M‑TAPA versus TAP block for pain after one-sided open inguinal hernia repair
We will test whether an M‑TAPA block or a TAP block gives better pain relief after elective unilateral open inguinal hernia surgery in adults aged 18–65.
-
Visually guided TAP block during laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair
This will test whether giving a TAP nerve block under direct laparoscopic vision during elective TAPP inguinal hernia repair reduces postoperative pain and speeds recovery in adults.
-
Laparoscopic-assisted TAP block versus spraying local anesthetic on the liver during keyhole gallbladder removal
This study will test whether giving a TAP block or squirting local anesthetic onto the liver during elective keyhole gallbladder removal reduces post-operative pain in adults.
