Randomized Controlled Trial
[Ultrasound-guided Rectus Sheath Block vs Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Children Undergoing Umbilical Hernia Repair].
Although many reports describe the usefulness of the rectus sheath block (RSB) in the umbilical hernia repair, the efficacy of the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) is rarely reported. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and technique of ultrasound-guided RSB and TAPB in children undergoing umbilical hernia repair. ⋯ TAPB provided comparable perioperative analgesia and easiness of block performance to RSB in the pediatric umbilical hernia repair.
