Transversus abdominis plane block versus quadratus lumborum block type 2 for analgesia in renal transplantation: A randomised trial

CONCLUSION The reduction of fentanyl consumption in the first 24 h after renal transplantation with no difference in pain intensity and patient satisfaction shows a beneficial effect of one-sided QLB type 2 over a one-sided TAPB in regards to postoperative analgesia. However, the reduction in opioid consumption did not affect the frequency of opioid-related adverse effects. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02783586.
