Evaluation of the Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of Modified Thoracoabdominal Plane Block With Perichondral Approach and Quadratus Lumborum Block in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies

Patients are placed in the lateral decubitus position. The area where the block will be applied is disinfected with povidine iodine. A convex ultrasound probe is placed on the midaxillary line above the iliac crest. By visualizing the transverse process adjacent to the psoas major and quadratus lumborum muscles, using the in-plane technique, using a 22 gauge 80 mm peripheral block needle after negative aspiration into the anterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia anterior to the quadratus lumborum muscle muscle, 0.5-1 ml of serum After observing hydrodissection with physiological, 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine is injected. The same is done to the opposite side.

In the M-TAPA block group, with the patient in the supine position, a linear high-frequency linear ultrasound (USG) probe is angled to visualize the inferior surface of the costochondral junction at the level of the 10th costochondral cartilage. Under sterile conditions, using the in-plane technique with a 22G 80 mm peripheral block needle, the needle is advanced posterior to the 10th costal cartilage by taking the lower edge of the cartilage in the sagittal plane as the midline. After hydrodissection with 2-3 ml isotonic saline to confirm the site, 20 ml of 0.25% Bupivacaine is administered under USG guidance. The same procedure is performed on the contralateral side as well.
