Arm Description

The patient is in the prone position, an ultrasound probe is placed in a transverse, oblique, and paramedian orientation approximately lateral to the posterior axillary line. The needle is then inserted in-plane from the medial side of the transducer and advanced laterally to enter the interfascial plane between the Quadratus Lumborum muscle and the kidney. We confirmed that the local anesthetic appeared to press down the kidney in the ultrasound image

Using aseptic technique, an ultrasound probe is placed at the T9 vertebral level. After identifying the ribs and sliding towards the midline in a longitudinal parasagittal orientation, the overlying Erector Spinae is identified by visualization of the transition between the rib and transverse apophysis a block needle is inserted in plane with ultrasound beam and is advanced in a cephalo-caudal direction until the tip contacted the transverse process.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Analgesia
Total opioid consumption during the first 48hours postoperatively.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Analgesia
first Analgesic request postoperatively.
episodes of nausea and vomiting
to investigate if there is or not.
Pain Scores using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores
VAS is a scale to determine the patient's pain level.
ambulation time
time from the end of the surgery to the first time to out-of-bed activity
time of recovery of bowl movement
time from the end of the surgery to the first time of bowl movement
patient satisfaction with anesthesia
Patient satisfaction with anesthesia was assessed using a 5-point scale (5: very satisfied; 4: satisfied; 3: neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 2: dissatisfied; 1: very dissatisfied)
postoperative length of hospital stay
till time of discharge

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
comparing the subcostal oblique Quadratus Lumborum block and the Erector Spinae plane block in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy operation to get the best and longest postoperative analgesic effect.
Detailed Description
Here the investigators are going to compare between the Anterior approach for the subcostal oblique Quadratus Lumborum block (QLB) and the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) to determine their level of spread and their value in controlling postoperative pain in patients scheduled for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy surgery. We hypothesized that quadratus lumborum is not inferior regarding the duration of analgesia when compared to erector spinae in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy under general anesthesia.

Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Subcostal Oblique Quadratus Lumborum Block and Erector Spinae Plain Block.
Intervention Description
patients undergo general anesthesia,will be put in prone position.In case of Quadratus Lumborum block 1-3 mL of normal saline is injected to produce hydro-dissection and spread cranially between the QL and kidney. The corresponding ultrasonographic sign is a lunar-shaped hypo-echoic fluid collection observed between the long axis of the kidney and QL muscle. 20 ml Bupivacaine 0.5%, 10 ml Lidocaine 2%, and 10 ml normal saline is administered. In case of the ESPB The location of the needle tip is confirmed by hydro-dissection and after visualizing the fluid spread lifting the Erector Spinae off the transverse process, 20 ml bupivacaine 0.5%, 10 ml Lidocaine 2%, and 10 ml normal saline is injected.
