| description | Abstract Background Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a commonly utilized surgical approach for the management of renal cancer. Despite its widespread acceptance, postoperative pain management remains a significant challenge for many patients undergoing this procedure. Traditional pain management techniques, including opioid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug administration, may not provide adequate pain relief and may result in adverse effects. In recent years, erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has emerged as a promising regional anesthesia technique due to its simplicity, safety, and potential efficacy in reducing postoperative pain. ESPB has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing postoperative pain in various surgical procedures. However, the efficacy of ESPB in laparoscopic nephrectomy for renal cancer has not been extensively studied. As such, further investigation is necessary to determine the potential benefits of ESPB in this context. The addition of adjuvants such as dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone to nerve blocks has been shown to improve both the duration and quality of the block. Multiple studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of these adjuvants in reducing postoperative pain and opioid consumption and improving patient satisfaction. The use of dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone as adjuvants for nerve blocks represents a promising approach for enhancing regional anesthesia and analgesia. In light of these findings, we have incorporated dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone into our nerve block protocol. Methods This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted at a single center, with 50 participants being randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the ESPB group or the control group. The trial aims to investigate the efficacy of ESPB in patients diagnosed with kidney cancer who are scheduled for laparoscopic nephrectomy. The primary outcome measure is the total consumption of intraoperative sufentanil. Secondary outcomes include the VAS score at rest and during coughing at 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after surgery; total intraoperative remifentanil consumption; the number of times rescue analgesia is required; and the incidence of nausea and vomiting in the first 24 h after surgery. This study is registered for a duration of 1 year and is being conducted in China. Discussion The objective of our study is to evaluate the potential benefits of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy, with a focus on the impact of dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone as adjuvants on the quality and duration of the block, as well as postoperative pain and opioid consumption. By investigating the effects of these adjuvants in the context of ESPB, we hope to contribute to the growing body of literature on the use of adjuvants in nerve blocks and provide further insight into the potential benefits of this approach for improving patient outcomes following laparoscopic nephrectomy. This trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University. Trial registration China Clinical Trial Register ChiCTR2300068578 .
