Summary

Abdominal surgery is one of the most definitive and mainstay treatment options for abdominal pathologies in clinical practice. Acute postoperative pain is a major challenge in the postoperative period. Although opioids are commonly used for analgesia after paraumbilical hernia, they can lead to side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, constipation, pruritus, and life-threatening respiratory depression. Regional anesthetic techniques are commonly used to prevent or minimize these side effects. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and standard medical (no block) pain management after paraumbilical hernia.

Conditions

• Regional Anesthesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Bubpivacaine	Bupivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic commonly used to provide pain relief by blocking nerve signals in a specific area. It's often utilized for various medical procedures and surgeries, offering prolonged numbing effects.
DRUG	dexamethasone	Dexamethasone is a potent corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties. It's frequently employed as an adjunct in medical treatments to reduce inflammation and swelling, and in some cases, to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with certain medications or procedures.
DRUG	fentanyl	Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid pain reliever. It acts on the central nervous system to alleviate severe pain. Fentanyl is significantly potent and is used in medical settings for acute pain management, such as during surgeries or for chronic pain in cases where other opioids may not be as effective.
