Summary

Since many intravenous anesthetic agents administered to the mother can cross the placental barrier and cause fetal side effects, multimodal analgesia strategies with peripheral nerve blocks are preffered with greater safety in elective Cesarean section surgeries. The primary objective of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores (NRS) in elective cesarean section patients who receive a transversalis fascia plane block versus those who receive surgical site local anesthetic infiltration in addition to spinal anesthesia.

Detailed description

After Cesarean sections, several factors play a role in the formation of postoperative pain, including parietal stimulation originating from the surgical incision, visceral stimulation originating from the peritoneum, and manipulation of intra-abdominal structures. To enhance patients' rehabilitation during the postoperative period, promote lactation and infant care, and reduce hospital stays, the most appropriate postoperative analgesia method should be selected. Since many intravenous anesthetic agents administered to the mother can cross the placental barrier and cause fetal side effects, regional anesthesia techniques are preferred with greater safety in elective Cesarean section surgeries. In the postoperative period, multimodal analgesia strategies can be used for pain control, and one of these strategies is postoperative peripheral nerve blocks. Ultrasound guided transversalis fascia plane block is one of the preferred methods for postoperative analgesia in cesarean section patients. The primary objective of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores (NRS) in elective cesarean section patients who receive a transversalis plane block versus those who receive surgical site local anesthetic infiltration in addition to spinal anesthesia.
