Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of M-TAPA block and TAP block in patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy surgeries
Detailed Description
There will be two randomized groups: Group M-TAPA (n=15), Group TAP (n=15). All patients will have standard general anesthesia. Group M-TAPA patients will receive bilateral M-TAPA block with 0.25% bupivacaine (total volume of 40 ml). Group TAP patients will have bilateral lateral-TAP block with 0.25% bupivacaine (total volume of 40 ml). All blocks will be performed after general anesthesia induction, before skin incision. All patients in the study will receive 50 mg dexketoprofen and 1 gr paracetamol intravenos (i.v.) 10 minutes prior to skin closure. All patients will have ibuprofen 3x400 mg in postoperative 24 hours (maximum dose 1200 mg/day). Numerical rating scale (NRS) will be used to assess postoperative pain on 1st, 6th, 12th, 18th and 24th hour after the surgery. 50 mg tramadol will be administered as a rescue analgesic in all patients.Total tramadol consumption will be calculated.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Comparing the numerical rating scale scores
Time Frame: Postoperative 24 hours
Numerical rating scale will be used for pain assessment. The scores of the numerical rating scale changes between 0 to 10 points. 10 points mean "the most severe pain that the patient ever had". 0 point means "there is no pain." Higher scores mean worse outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- Comparing total tramadol consumption(Postoperative 24 hours)
