ABSTRACT

Nephrectomy is the surgical procedure in which part or all of a kidney is removed, this procedure can be carried out laparoscopically or openly. Open way has 3 boarding techniques: by an incision on the flank, thoraco-abdominal or trans-abdominal. All are wide and the postoperative pain that occurs ranges from a moderate to severe intensity and in some patients can become chronic. For the management of pain, in this surgery, the use of multimodal analgesia is recommended, which consists of using drugs with different sites of action as well as the use of regional techniques with the use of local anesthetics.
