Procedure: Transversus abdominis plane blockade
Procedure: Morphine-patient-controlled-analgesia-device
Registration Number
NCT01625572
Lead Sponsor
Charite University, Berlin, Germany
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the quality of a transversus abdominis plane blockade with an intravenous pain therapy with opioids. Due to the relatively low side effect profile and comparably few contraindications, this method offers a good option, to be a standard procedure or better alternative in the treatment of pain in surgery of the prostate.
