Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Regional anesthetics, nerve blocks, and interfascial blocks are becoming more common in many types of surgery to help with pain after surgery. Most clinicians concur with the importance of reducing postoperative pain scores and facilitating early discharge. The transversalis fascia plane block (TFP) and transversus abdominis plane block (TA), which are done from the side of the abdomen, have been proven to be very useful in surgeries related to women's health, weight loss, and the colon. Research on the effectiveness of both procedures in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies (RALP) is insufficient. The aim was to see if using a transversalis fascia plane block (TFP) or a transversus abdominal plane (TAP) block with 0.25% bupivacaine helped reduce pain, speed up recovery, and shorten hospital stays for men undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP).
