About this study
Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy of Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and Rectus Sheath Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Major Open Gynaecological Cancer Surgery: a Prospective Randomised Study
The aim of this prospective randomized study was to compare the effectiveness of subcostal transversus abdominis plane block or rectus sheath block applied in addition to posterior transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in major gynecological cancer surgeries.
The main question(s) it aims to answer are:
[Is subcostal transversus abdominis plane block more effective in postoperative analgesia? ] [Is there a difference in pain scores at 24 hours after surgery? ] Since pain scores within the first 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated, participants will be asked to give a value between 0 and 10 at certain time periods.
Read the detailed description
This prospective, randomized study was conducted at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. After ethics committee approval (decision no: 2023-596, date: 22.11.2023) and written consent from all patients, the study was conducted according to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines. In the study, which included a total of 50 patients, the patients were divided into two groups: subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (STAPB) or rectus sheath block (RSB). Postoperative 24-hour VAS values, opioid demand and administration amounts in intravenous patient-controlled analgesia, presence of nausea and vomiting, surgical complications and length of hospital stay were evaluated (6th hour, 12th hour, 24th hour).
- Being tested

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Patients undergoing subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and posterior transversus abdominis plane blockProcedure or surgery
To prevent postoperative pain, the researchers applied a subcostal transversus abdominis plane block in addition to the posterior transversus abdominis plane block to a group of patients who underwent surgery with a midline incision due to major gynecological cancer.
Patients undergoing rectus sheat block and posterior transversus abdominis plane blockProcedure or surgery
To prevent postoperative pain, the researchers applied a rectus sheath block in addition to the posterior transversus abdominis plane block to a group of patients who were operated on through a midline incision due to major gynecological cancer.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group1: Subcostal transversus abdominis plane block(STAPB) | Experimental | Subcostal transversus abdominis plane block(STAPB) Receives: Procedure: Patients undergoing subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and posterior transversus abdominis plane block; Procedure: Patients undergoing rectus sheat block and posterior transversus abdominis plane block |
| Group 2: Rectus sheat block(RSB) | Experimental | Rectus sheat block(RSB) Receives: Procedure: Patients undergoing subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and posterior transversus abdominis plane block; Procedure: Patients undergoing rectus sheat block and posterior transversus abdominis plane block |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
visuel analog scale
Our primer aim was to compare postoperative pain scores. The first 24 hours postoperatively were evaluated.Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) was used to assess postoperative pain.6th, 12th, 24th hour NRS values were recorded For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
Measured: 24 hours postoperatively
Secondary outcomes (1)
amount of opioid used
Our secondary aim was to evaluate the opioid amount (mg) in the first 24 hours of intravenously administered opioids with patient-controlled analgesia.
Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Patients undergoing subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and posterior transversus abdominis plane block and Patients undergoing rectus sheat block and posterior transversus abdominis plane block in people with Postoperative Pain and Postoperative Complications, run by Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
visuel analog scale (time frame: 24 hours postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06342076, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
