Nerve-block during robotic prostate surgery to reduce pain
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a laparoscopic nerve block (called a TAP block) given during robotic prostate surgery can reduce postoperative pain. It compares comfort after surgery and looks for side effects or issues that could affect results.

This study compares two types of pain blocks to see which provides better pain relief after robotic prostate removal. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery.
This trial tests if adding tramadol and magnesium to a local anesthetic (ropivacaine) improves pain control after robotic prostate removal. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
This trial studies whether an abdominal wall nerve block improves pain control and recovery in adults 65 and older having minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors. It may reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve recovery.
This study compares two different ways to give a numbing medicine (TAP block) before abdominal surgery to see which one works better for pain control. If you are scheduled for elective abdominal surgery, joining may help doctors find the best way to manage your pain.
