Laparoscopic vs Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Minimally Invasive Colon Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Multicentre Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Active drug, Placebo, and 4 other interventions for Pain, Postoperative and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 360 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the trial is to identify the "most simple non-inferior of three different methods", placebo, laparoscopic assisted transverse abdominal plane block (L-TAP) and ultrasound guided TAP block (US-TAP), using postoperative opioid consumption as a measure of efficacy in patients undergoing elective minimally invasive colon surgery in an ERAS setting. Postoperative pain scores and length of stay (LOS) will also be measured. The simplicity of the three methods is ranked as: 1) placebo, 2) L-TAP and 3) US-TAP.
