Clinical Trial: Intertransverse Process Block Versus Erector Spinae Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

U.S., Nov. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07908992) titled 'Intertransverse Process Block Versus Erector Spinae Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy' on Oct. 21.

Brief Summary: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the preferred minimally invasive procedure for renal stones larger than 2 cm, staghorn calculi and complex stone burdens, but it is frequently associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain arising from the incision, renal capsular distension and visceral or stent-related sources.
