Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Plane Block In Living Liver Donors
Ultrasound-guided Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Plane Block (M-TAPA) is performed deep into the costochondral aspect at the 9th-10th costal level by injecting local anesthetics deep into the chondrium. It provides blockage of both the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the thoracoabdominal nerve. As there are studies showing M-TAPA block to be effective for postoperative analgesia for other abdominal surgeries, its effect on patients undergoing living liver donor surgery has not been studied yet. We hypothesize that M-TAPA block performed in living liver donors would reduce opioid consumption in the first 48 hours after surgery.
