Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the bilateral rectointercostal fascial plane (RIB) block for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The study compares RIB block combined with standard general anesthesia to standard intravenous patient-controlled analgesia alone. The primary outcome is total opioid consumption within the first 24 postoperative hours, while secondary outcomes include pain scores, patient satisfaction, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and block-related complications.

Treatments
Experimental: Bilateral Rectointercostal Fascial Plane Block Group
Participants in this group will receive bilateral rectointercostal fascial plane (RIB) block under ultrasound guidance prior to induction of general anesthesia. Following surgery, standard intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine will be administered.
Active_comparator: Control Group (General Anesthesia + PCA)
Participants in this group will receive only general anesthesia followed by standard intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine. No fascial plane block will be performed.
