Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding a spinal block (medicine that will numb parts of the body to block pain) along with standard pain control at the incision site will decrease the need for narcotics for pain management and decrease the percentage of patients requiring hospital admission for pain control during postoperative , in-hospital, care after a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) (surgery to remove kidney stones), commonly called PERC.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Age ≥ 18 years Undergoing unilateral or bilateral PCNL for treatment of kidney stones Estimated glomerular filtration rate \> 30 mL/min. PCNL is planned as an outpatient procedure with no overnight hospital stay
Exclusion Criteria
- •Inability to provide informed consent Pregnancy Patients having any additional simultaneous procedures other than a contralateral PCNL,(including contralateral treatment of kidney stones with a non-PCNL operation such as ureteroscopy) Patients with a documented neurologic injury that reduces pain sensation to the back Patients with an existing pain disorder Patients with an existing narcotics agreement due to current or prior narcotic abuse Patients with a documented allergy to a narcotic or NSAID analgesic BMI \> 35 Patients who require more than 1 site of percutaneous access into the kidney to adequately complete the PCNL (this is a judgment made preoperatively at the initial clinic patient encounter)
Arms & Interventions
Control
Standard Care Protocol - peritubal block standard local analgesic administration in the form of a peritubal block
Intervention: Control Test
ANES Block
Patients randomized to the erector spinae block (Group 2) will have the block placed in the preoperative area by the anesthesia team. 0-4 mg midazolam and/or 0-100 mcg of fentanyl may be provided prior to and in order to place the block itself. The local anesthetic will diffuse to involve the dorsal and ventral rami of the spinal nerves, achieving a sensory block of the affected area. The erector spinae block analgesic will be administered by the anesthesia team. The analgesic provided in the erector spinae block is 20mL of 0.5% Bupivicaine with 4mg of PF Dexamethasone.
Intervention: 4mg PF Dexamethasone
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overnight Admission Rate
Time Frame: 24 hours
Percentage of patients in Groups 1 and 2 who require overnight admission to the hospital for pain control postoperatively (i.e. patients unable to be discharged to home from the postoperative anesthesia care unit PACU).
Secondary Outcomes
- Pain Score(24 hours)
- Narcotic for Analgesia post-operatively(14 days post-op)
- Number of complications peri and post-operatively(24 hours)
- Rate of Adjunct Analgesics Post-operatively(14 days)
- Proportion of patients with Emergency Department return or re-admission(14 days)
- Number of Narcotic administrations post-operatively(14 days)
- Number of Morphine Equivalents post-operatively(14 days)
