After cholecystectomy, modified-thoracoabdominal nerve block (M-TAPA) is a newly applied technique in upper abdominal surgery for postoperative analgesia. In recent years, block methods such as erector spina plane (ESP), paravertebral (PVB), transverses abdominis plane (TAP) have also been applied in these surgeries. MTAPA has been defined as a technique that is performed in the supine position and is easier to apply than the other mentioned blocks. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of this block.
After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, most patients experience moderate to severe pain, especially in the first 24 hours. The cause of the pain is the skin incision, the carbon dioxide insufflation given into the abdomen for laparoscopy, and the visceral peritoneum.
This pain that occurs in the postoperative period negatively affects the patient's early mobilization, wound healing, and patient comfort. While the toxic effects of nonsteroids used for pain control on the liver and kidneys are known, narcotic analgesics have side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and addiction. In recent years, trunk blocks have begun to be used frequently for pain control in abdominal surgery. Although blocks such as erector spina plane (ESP), paravertebral (PVB), and transverses abdominis plane (TAP) are frequently applied, there are differences in terms of their effectiveness and duration. On the other hand, it is important to give the patient a suitable position for the application.
Modified-thoracoabdominal nerve block (M-TAPA), which is applied especially in the supine position and is easier to apply compared to other blocks, has started to be applied as an alternative method.
In our study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness and duration of the MTAPA block compared to other trunk blocks such as ESP.

| M TAPA block | Procedure | Grup M: The patients who underwent M-TAPA block were placed in the supine position. The right upper quadrant of the abdomen was cleaned with antiseptic solution. For the block procedure, 20-30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, 22G 8.5 cm stimuplex needle and 10-14 Hz high frequency USG were prepared for the procedure. The USG probe was determined in the costochondral area at the mid-clavicular line, and the internal and transversus abdominis muscles were determined. The needle was advanced with the in plane technique from cephalad to caudal, passing through the skin, subcutaneous, external and internal oblique muscles, respectively, and then over the transversus abdominis fascia. After the target was confirmed with 2 ml of saline, 0.3 mg / kg bupivacaine (20-30 ml) was administered. |

| ESP block group | Procedure | In Group E, patients who were to undergo ESP block were placed in the lateral position with the right side up. The T8-T10 dorsal region was cleaned appropriately with antiseptic solution. For the block procedure, 20-30cc %0.25 bupivacaine, 22G 8.5cm stimuplex needle and 10-14Hz high frequency USG were prepared for the procedure. The USG probe is first determined in the sagittal direction, the spinous process of the T10 thoracic vertebra is then followed 1-2 cm above the transverse process, with the in plane technique, the skin, subcutaneous tissue and erector spina muscle are passed, the needle is touched to the transverse process and the target is confirmed with 2cc saline, then 20-30 cc (0.5 mg / kg bupivacaine) of local anesthetic is administered and the procedure is terminated. |

The conformity of numerical data to normal distribution will be tested with the ShaphiroWilk test. Student t test will be used to compare variables that comply with normal distribution in 2 groups, and Mann Whitney U test will be used to compare variables that do not distribute normally in 2 groups. Relationships between categorical variables will be tested with the Chi-square test. Relationships between numerical variables will be tested with the correlation coefficient. SPSS 22.0 package program will be used in the analyses. A P value of less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. |
