Comparison of the Analgesic Effects of TFPB in Renal Transplantation Surgery

Renal transplantation is a major surgical procedure associated with significant postoperative pain, particularly due to lower abdominal incision, deep tissue dissection, and extensive surgical manipulation. Effective postoperative pain control is therefore of great importance in this patient population, as inadequate analgesia may impair early mobilization, delay recovery, increase opioid consumption, and contribute to opioid-related adverse effects. In addition, optimal analgesic management may improve patient comfort and support enhanced postoperative outcomes.

Nerve blocks reduces opioid consumption in the postoperative period by providing better pain control and therefore has advantages such as fewer side effects and less risk of pulmonary and cardiac complications.

In this study; it was aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of transversalis fascia plane block in the postoperative period in patients who underwent renal transplantation.
