Which nerve block eases kidney surgery pain better?
NCT ID NCT06298227
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two types of nerve blocks (ESPB and QLB) for pain control after laparoscopic kidney removal. Sixty-two adults having living-donor nephrectomy received one of the two blocks before surgery. The main goal was to see which block reduced the need for opioid pain medicine in the first 24 hours after surgery.
