About this study

The primary purpose of TAPAS study is to demonstrate the superiority of analgesic effect of trans abdominal plane block (TAP block) performed at the beginning of stoma reversal, compared to standard of care.

The hypothesize is that a TAP block performed at the beginning of surgery of stoma reversal would improve patient's satisfaction (evaluated by Quo-r40 questionnaire), would reduce the incidence of post operative pain, time spent in recovery room, and reduce hospitalisation time

Read the detailed description

The patient will arrive in the department the day before the surgical intervention (D-1). During this preoperative visit (D-1), the investigator

  • will preselect potentially eligible patients
  • will offer to participate to this study
  • will give the notice form to the patients
  • will present the research: objectives, benefits and constraints for the patients

The intervention day (D0):

The investigator will collect the signed consent form after having ascertained the understanding of the notice form by the patient and checking the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria.

The randomization will be done via the eCRF module (allocation group and number) and the preoperative data registration in the eCRF.

Surgical Intervention (D1):

All patients will receive standard anaesthesia using sufentanyl, propopol, cisatracurium and sevoflurane. Prevention of nausea and vomiting is performing using Apfel score. Anti microbial prophylaxis is performed according recommendations.

All patients will receive post operative multimodal analgesia using, acetaminophene, ketaminophene (if no contra indication), nefopam, and morphine if NRS (numerating rating scale) > 3 At the end of the surgery, patients in the experimental group will receive a ultrasound guided trans abdominal plane block with 20 ml of 5 mg/mg of ropivacaine. Patients in the control group will not receive the block

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Trans abdominal planeProcedure or surgery

    Trans abdominal plane block is performed with ultra sound guidance.

    1. - The high frequency probe is placed right to the umbilicus, and slips laterally to the side to block. It allows showing the three belts of larges muscles of abdomen (External Oblicum, internal oblicum, and transversal of the abdomen).
    2. - When the needle is visualised in the plan separating the muscle internal oblicum and transversal of the abdomen, 20 ml of ropivacaïne 5mg/ml are injected after aspiration test. If in doubt, hydro localisation car be realised.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quo 40 score

    Once the patient is transferred in post operative surgical service, assessment of the primary outcome will be done by the physician in charge of the patient. Quo 40 score is a postoperative recovery score above 200 points validated by Myles et al in 2001.

    Measured: Day 1 (

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. NRS (Numeric rating scale)

    Numerating rating score variating from 0 to 10, done by nurses in operating room and in post operative surgical service

    Measured: Day 1 : At the entrance of recovery room

  2. NRS (Numeric rating scale)

    Numerating rating score variating from 0 to 10, done by nurses in operating room and in post operative surgical service

    Measured: Day 1

  3. NRS (Numeric rating scale)

    Numerating rating score variating from 0 to 10, done by nurses in operating room and in post operative surgical service

    Measured: Day 2

  4. Quo 40 score

    Once the patient is transferred in post operative surgical service, assessment of the primary outcome will be done by the physician in charge of the patient. Quo 40 score is a postoperative recovery score above 200 points validated by Myles et al in 2001.

    Measured: Day 15

  5. Time spent in recovery room

    Assessment of time spent in recovery room (ie: entrance in recovery room until Aldrede score is >9) performed by nurses (Until 6 hours).

    Measured: At the output of recovery room ie until 6 hours after intervention

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quo 40 score (time frame: Day 1 (). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
