Abstract

The most often utilized flank approach in renal surgery is through the bed of the 11th or 12th rib, which offers excellent exposure to the renal parenchyma and collecting system [1]. The patient response to pain and surgery, and pre/peri-operative analgesic techniques all play a role in enhancing post-operative discomfort. The goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of intercostal nerve block with flank incision infiltration of local anesthetics such as 0.25% Bupivacaine on postoperative pain control in order to determine which method was the most effective in reducing the need for total analgesic consumption.
