MD Anderson Study Status
Not Accepting
Treatment Agent
Quadratus Lumborum Block
Description
This phase II trial studies how an additional anesthetic nerve block, called a quadratus lumborum block, works to reduce the need for opioids in patients after pancreatic surgery. Giving an additional regional anesthetic after surgery may hasten the weaning process, reduce the need for opioid medications upon discharge, and reduce the risk of opioid dependence.
