Comparing two nerve blocks for liver surgery pain
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving injections (nerve blocks) used during liver surgery. One is a retrolaminar block and the other is a subcostal transversus abdominis plane block. The goal is to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
