NCT ID NCT07396753
First seen Feb 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve block called the transversalis fascia plane block can reduce pain and opioid use after hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Fifty living kidney donors will be randomly assigned to receive either standard anesthesia alone or standard anesthesia plus the nerve block. The main goal is to see if the block lowers opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery.

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 it works, this could provide a better way to manage pain after kidney donation, reducing the need for opioids and their side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants. The nerve block may not significantly reduce pain or opioid use, and results may not apply to all patients.
