Summary

Living donor organ transplantation has increased in recent years due to an increased need for organs. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a TAP block on postoperative analgesia and opioid consumption in liver transplantation donors in whom a right lateral extending upper mid-line abdominal incision was used.

Detailed description

This prospective randomized controlled double-blinded study was conducted with 50 liver transplantation donors between 18-65 years who were scheduled to undergo right hepatectomy surgery. Cases to whom TAP block with ultrasound was applied after standard general anesthesia were determined as Group 1 and cases to whom only standard general anesthesia was applied, were determined as Group 2.
