U.S., April 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06928324) titled 'Postoperative Analgesia With an Erector Spinae Plane Block in Robotic-assisted Partial Nephrectomy' on March 24.
Brief Summary: Partial nephrectomy is used as a standard method for the treatment of T1 kidney tumors, while radical nephrectomy is preferred for T2 tumors and localized masses that cannot be treated with partial nephrectomy. These surgical procedures can be performed using open surgery, laparoscopic, or robotic approaches. Open surgical methods, especially during partial or radical nephrectomy, generally require wide incisions extending below the costal arch. These incisions involve cutting through intercostal muscle st...
