Postoperative pain following renal transplantation is moderate to severe. Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a new block that can provide effective analgesia following abdominal and retroperitoneal surgeries. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of QLB for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing renal transplantation. ⋯ Type-1 QLB significantly reduces fentanyl consumption and NRS pain score at 1,4,8,12, and 24 h in the postoperative period in renal transplant recipients.
