Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
ESP Block Application:All blocks will be performed by an anesthesiologist experienced in the block approximately 30 minutes before anesthesia induction. The block will be made at the level of the T8 vertebra. The T7 vertebra that corresponds to the level of the lower ends of the scapula will be identified and the T8 vertebra below one level will be detected by palpation. Patients will be laid in prone position and skin preparation will be done with 10% povidone iodine. Skin-subcutaneous anesthesia will be provided with 3 ml 2% lidocaine at the target injection site. T8 spinous process in the midline and horizontal plane will be displayed first by using a linear probe coated with a sterile drape at 8 mHz frequency accompanied by ultrasonography. The probe is then turned to the longitudinal plane, approximately 3 cm from the midline, the transverse process on the left lateral and the erector spina muscle will be displayed on it. The 22-gauge, 80-mm block needle will be advanced cranio-caudal as in-plane and the transverse process will be touched. Then, after the needle is minimally retracted, 20 ml 0.375% bupivacaine hydrochloride + 4 mg dexamethasone will be injected, and simultaneous local anesthetic emission will be monitored by ultrasonography. By applying the same procedure to the right side, bilateral ESP block will be performed. Loss of sensation of warm-cold sensation below and above the bilateral T8 dermatome level 20 minutes after the block is made will be considered as block success. Participants in this group will also receive PCA postoperatively.
Intervention code [1] 316662 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Patients who will not block and use only patient control analgesia (PCA) device for postoperative analgesia will form the Control Group (Group C).Without PCA basal infusion dose, 1 mg / ml dose of morphine will be programmed as 1 ml per bolus and lock-out time of 6 minutes.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 322666 0
The primary outcome measure of the study will be total morphine consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively. This outcome will be assessed by audit of patient controlled analgesia machine
Timepoint [1] 322666 0
Post-operative first 24 hours
Secondary outcome [1] 379236 0
Resting and dynamic numering rating scale (NRS) scores will be assessed by verbal assessment of the patient at post-operative 5 different time points (postoperative 10th minute, 1st hour, 6th hour, 12th hour and 24th hour).
Timepoint [1] 379236 0
Post-operative 10th minute, 1st hour, 6th hour, 12th hour and 24th hour.
Secondary outcome [2] 380864 0
Intraoperative remifentanil consumption will be assessed by audit of perfusion machine.
Timepoint [2] 380864 0
During operation time
Secondary outcome [3] 380865 0
Total recovery analgesic requirement in the first 24 hours postoperatively will be assessed by medical nurse records.
Timepoint [3] 380865 0
Post-operative first 24 hours

Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Patients will be randomized by lot using the closed opaque technique and their groups will be determined. This process will be carried out by a researcher who is not involved in the study.

Statistical methods / analysis
The data obtained as a result of the research will be analyzed through appropriate statistical package programs. Parametric or nonparametric tests will be used according to the measurement levels and normality analyzes of the variables. While determining whether there is a difference between the groups in terms of variables; Independent Samples T test in two group comparisons or Mann-Whitney U test, One Way Anova or Kruskall-Wallis H test in three or more group comparisons. Paired Samples T test or Wilcoxon Signed Rank test will be used for intra-group time-based comparisons.
