Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients classified as ASA 1-3 who are scheduled for elective open nephrectomy and have a BMI of less than 35.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with ASA classifications of 4-6, those undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy, or individuals with infections at the block site or coagulation disorders may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of two different analgesic techniques, the erector spina plane block and the quadratus lumborum block, in providing pain relief for patients undergoing elective open nephrectomy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a control group receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine, the erector spina plane block, or the quadratus lumborum block. After standard anesthesia induction and monitoring, pain levels and morphine consumption will be recorded for one day post-surgery to assess the efficacy of each method.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing kidney surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar analgesic techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
