Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral re-M-TAPA block on postoperative analgesia compared with surgical wound infiltration in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The primary outcome is cumulative opioid consumption within 24 hours postoperatively, expressed as intravenous morphine milligram equivalents (MME). Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain scores (Numerical Rating Scale) at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, time to first rescue analgesia, quality of recovery (QoR-15) at 24 hours, and sensory block distribution.

Interventions/Control_1

In the intervention group, ultrasound-guided bilateral re-M-TAPA block will be performed after induction of general anesthesia and before the start of surgery. The type, concentration, and volume of local anesthetic will be determined according to the institutional protocol. Perioperative general anesthesia management and postoperative analgesic protocols will be standardized between the two groups.

Interventions/Control_2

In the control group, surgical wound infiltration with local anesthetic will be performed at the end of surgery. The type, concentration, and volume of local anesthetic will be determined according to the institutional protocol. Perioperative general anesthesia management and postoperative analgesic protocols will be standardized between the two groups.
