Which block eases pain after prostate surgery? study compares two options

First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This completed study tested two types of nerve blocks—the transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block and the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block—to see which one works better for pain relief after robotic-assisted partial prostatectomy. 108 men received one of the blocks with bupivacaine, and researchers measured how long it took before they needed more pain medicine. The goal was to find which block reduces pain, speeds recovery, and shortens hospital stays.

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 block works better, it could lead to less pain and faster recovery after robotic prostate surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 108 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Both blocks are already in use, so no major breakthrough is expected.
