Özet

Objective: The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a new and effective truncal block used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing upper and lower abdominal surgeries. We aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of QLB and wound infiltration (WI) using postoperative Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) pain scores and total 24-h analgesic consumption in pediatric patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted pyeloplasty (LAP).
