Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques, the external oblique intercostal plane block (EOIPB) and the posterior transversus abdominis plane block, in managing postoperative pain for patients undergoing open nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma. The aim is to determine which technique provides better analgesia and reduces the need for opioids, thereby minimizing side effects and improving recovery outcomes. Patients will be monitored for pain levels and any complications following surgery.
