Primary outcomePrimary: Postoperative Analgesic (Tramadol) Consumption
Summary
Percutaneous nephrolitotomy (PCNL)is an endourological procedure for the management of patients with renal calculi. Postoperative pain around the surgical area and the nephrostomy tube can being a problem. We hypothesized that intercostal nerve block at 11th and 12th rib level would alleviate postoperative pain and reduce analgesic consumption.
