Summary

This trial tests three methods of delivering the anesthetic bupivacaine to reduce pain after total abdominal hysterectomy: an ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block, a surgical rectus sheath block, or local infiltration. The study includes 90 adults aged 18–65 scheduled for elective surgery. The main goal is to see which approach lowers the need for morphine rescue pain relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If one method proves superior, it could become the standard for reducing pain and morphine use after hysterectomy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial (90 patients), so results may not apply broadly. All methods carry typical risks of local anesthetics.
