Summary

This study aims at comparing the effects of bilateral ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block versus lumbar epidural block on postoperative analgesia and inflammatory response following major lower abdominal cancer surgery.

Conditions

• Postoperative Pain
• Inflammatory Response

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Ultrasound quadratus lumborum block with bupivacaine 25%	echogenic needle will be inserted in-plane with the ultrasound beam in a posterior-to-anterior direction through the quadratus lumborum muscle until the ventral fascia of the muscle penetrated. At this point, the needle directed toward the fascial plan between the quadratus lumborum and the Psoas muscle
OTHER	lumbar epideural block with bupivacaine 25%	lumbar epidural will be performed for patients in group II using a 16-gauge Touhy epidural needle by a median approach. The T12 - L1 or L1 - L2 interspaces will be chosen for the injection. The epidural space identified by the loss of resistance technique.
