Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–65 undergoing kidney transplant with ASA III and a BMI between 18 and 30 kg/m2, without bleeding disorders, are the ideal candidates for this study.

Probably not a fit

Patients outside the 18–65 age range, with ASA scores other than III, with BMI below 18 or above 30, or with bleeding diathesis are unlikely to be eligible or to receive benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares postoperative pain control in two groups: patients who receive a transversalis fascia plane block and a control group receiving standard analgesia. Participants are adults undergoing kidney transplant who meet specific eligibility criteria (age 18–65, ASA III, BMI 18–30 kg/m2). The study measures postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, and related recovery outcomes to determine whether the block improves analgesia and reduces opioid need. Patients with bleeding diathesis or outside the specified age, ASA, or BMI ranges are excluded.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the block could lower opioid use and improve pain control after kidney transplant, helping patients recover faster with fewer opioid-related side effects.

How similar studies have gone: Other peripheral nerve blocks have been shown to reduce postoperative opioid consumption after abdominal and transplant surgeries, but the use of the transversalis fascia plane block specifically in kidney transplant patients is less well studied.
