Abstract
A main goal of modern anesthesiology is to reduce the bodys stress response to surgical aggression. This needs a multidisciplinary approach: surgeons reduce the invasiveness of surgery, and anesthesiologists use a multimodal approach in the intraoperative and postoperative periods. They combine general anesthesia with epidural anesthesia (EA), which has not only undeniable and proven advantages but also several disadvantages. An interesting alternative is paravertebral block (PVB), a compromise between neuroaxial (EA) and peripheral nerve block. PVB provides analgesic efficacy comparable to that of EA, but with significantly fewer complications and side effects. Many studies have described the widespread and successful use of PVB in thoracic surgery and endoscopic urology. However, the literature on the use of PVB in laparoscopic renal surgery anesthesia is extremely scarce. Thus, large multicenter studies are needed to determine the place of PVB in the anesthetic management of laparoscopic renal surgery.
