First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two common pain-relief techniques—ESP block and EXORA block—used after laparoscopic kidney removal. Researchers will track pain scores, need for extra pain medication, and recovery quality in 84 adults. The goal is to see if one block offers better pain control and smoother recovery.

Active substance

bupivacaine

What this could lead to

If one block works better, it could lead to better pain control and faster recovery after kidney surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less reliable. The blocks are already used in practice, so no major breakthrough is expected.
