Abstract:Background: General anesthesia can affect postoperative cytokine levels, leading to cellular immune inhibition following surgery. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bilateral rectus sheath block on serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 after radical prostatectomy. Methods: Fifty patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into two groups. Group RSB: A bilateral single shot of 20 ml plain bupivacaine 0.25% or 20 ml normal saline (Group C) i… Show more
