Peripheral Autonomic Block (BAP) Plus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAP) for Postoperative Analgesia After Minimally Invasive Left-Sided Colorectal Resection (BAPTAP)
Peripheral Autonomic Block (BAP) Plus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAP) for Postoperative Analgesia After Minimally Invasive Left-Sided Colorectal Resection (BAPTAP): A Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Effective postoperative pain management is essential for enhanced recovery after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. This randomized, controlled, double-blind trial will compare conventional postoperative analgesia (intravenous medications plus surgical wound infiltration) with a locoregional strategy combining a peripheral autonomic block (inferior mesenteric and superior hypogastric plexuses) and a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. We hypothesize that the combined strategy (BAPTAP) reduces pain intensity and opioid consumption in the first 48 hours after Left-Sided Colorectal Resection.
