The aim is to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of Quadroiliac Plane Block (QIPB) and Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (SIFICB) in patients undergoing hip surgery.
Patients were divided into two randomized groups: Group 1 (QIPB group, n=30) and Group 2 (SIFICB group, n=30). All patients will receive the same standard general anesthesia per hospital protocol. All blocks will be applied with the same ultrasonography and block equipment, and by the same physician. After the anesthesia induction, patients in Group 1 will receive Quadroiliac Plane Block (QIPB) with 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. Patients in Group 2 will receive Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (SIFICB) with 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. All patients will receive Paracetamol 1gr and Dexketoprofen 50mg intravenous (IV) 10 minutes prior to skin closure. Routine analgesic procedure consisting of 3x400mg Ibuprofen will be followed postoperatively for 24 hours. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) will be used to assess postoperative pain on 1st, 6th, 12th, 18th and 24th hours after the surgery. Tramadol 1mg/kg IV will be administered as a rescue analgesic for all patients if NRS score is higher than 4. Total Tramadol consumption will be calculated.

Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Scores
Numerical rating scale is used for pain assessment. The scores of the numerical rating scale changes between 0 to 10 points. 10 points mean "the most severe pain that the patient ever had". 0 point means "there is no pain." Higher scores mean worse outcome.
Time frame: Postoperative 24 hours
Total tramadol consumption
Postoperative total analgesic need was recorded as "milligram" in unit.
Time frame: Postoperative 24 hours
