Official title

Ultrasound Guided Transversus Abdominus Plane Block for Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Hand-assisted Nephrectomy.

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Transversus Abdominus Plane (TAP) block may reduce need for postoperative pain medications in patients undergoing laparoscopic hand assisted nephrectomy. Our hypothesis is that the TAP block will result in a significant reduction in pain scores and morphine requirements in the active group.
