Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Jan 15, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Umbilical hernia Postoperative Pain Management

Summary

This observational study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and single-dose epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at predefined postoperative time points. The study seeks to determine which analgesic approach provides superior pain control and patient satisfaction in the postoperative period.

Interventions

OTHERUltrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block

Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is performed as part of routine postoperative analgesia following general anesthesia in patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery. The procedure is administered by an experienced anesthesiologist using standard institutional practice. No additional procedures or medications are applied specifically for the purpose of this observational study.

OTHERSingle-Dose Epidural Anesthesia

Single-dose epidural anesthesia is administered as part of routine clinical practice to provide intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery. The technique is performed by an experienced anesthesiologist according to standard institutional protocols. No investigational interventions or study-specific modifications are implemented.
