This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery to remove a kidney. The blocks are injected near the spine to numb the area and may reduce the need for pain medications.
This trial tests a specific nerve block (anterior quadratus lumborum block) given during laparoscopic kidney surgery to see if it reduces pain and speeds recovery. It may help patients who need a nephrectomy (kidney removal) or partial nephrectomy.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided pain blocks for cancer patients having a kidney removed. It aims to find which block provides better pain control after surgery.
This trial tests whether a special nerve-numbing injection in the back (guided by ultrasound imaging) can reduce pain after kidney removal surgery. If it works well, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
This trial compares two types of nerve-blocking injections (ESP and EXORA blocks) to reduce pain after laparoscopic kidney removal surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
This study compares two different nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief after surgery to remove kidney stones. It aims to help patients experience less pain and need fewer pain medications afterward.
