Study Summary
After undergoing a laparoscopic appendectomy, a child may experience some degree of pain in the postoperative period. As a routine part of the procedure, surgeons inject local anesthetic where the laparoscopic ports are placed. This provides some pain relief, but most children will still require additional pain medications after surgery. The purpose of the study is to see if a combination of peripheral nerve blocks (rectus sheath and ilioinguinal nerve) will give better pain relief, decreasing pain medication requirements and increasing comfort during the postoperative period.
Primary Outcome
Compare postoperative analgesic requirements during the first 48 hours in children undergoing ultrasound-guided (US) rectus sheath and ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve blocks compared with those receiving traditional infiltration of local anesthetic at port sites by the surgeons for laparoscopic appendectomies.
