Renal transplantation is a major surgical procedure associated with significant postoperative pain, particularly due to lower abdominal incision, deep tissue dissection, and extensive surgical manipulation. Effective postoperative pain control is therefore of great importance in this patient population, as inadequate analgesia may impair early mobilization, delay recovery, increase opioid consumption, and contribute to opioid-related adverse effects. In addition, optimal analgesic management may improve patient comfort and support enhanced postoperative outcomes. Nerve blocks reduces opioid consumption in the postoperative period by providing better pain control and therefore has advantages such as fewer side effects and less risk of pulmonary and cardiac complications. In this study; it was aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of transversalis fascia plane block in the postoperative period in patients who underwent renal transplantation.

This procedure will be performed unilaterally on the surgical side. 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected for ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block application. The standard intraoperative analgesic regimen will consist of intravenous tramadol (1 mg/kg) administered both before the incision and at the end of the procedure, with intravenous paracetamol (10 mg/kg) given exclusively at the end of the surgery.
No peripheral nerve block will be performed. The standard intraoperative analgesic regimen will consist of intravenous tramadol (1 mg/kg) administered both before the incision and at the end of the procedure, with intravenous paracetamol (10 mg/kg) given exclusively at the end of the surgery.

RECRUITINGPain Scores
Pain will be assessed at rest and while coughing using the visual analog scale on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Pain assessment will be done at 1st, 2nd, 4th, 12th, and 24th hours after surgery
Time frame: On the operation day
Intraoperative opioid consumption
Remifentanil consumption for intraoperative period will be recorded
Time frame: Intraoperative period
Postoperative Opioid Consumption
Opioid consumption for 24 hours will be recorded
Time frame: On the operation day
