The efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block for post-operative
TAP block has been shown to be effective in the cesarean section and after hysterectomy, open prostatectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and appendectomy [7, 8]. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the TAP block in patients who are having a cesarean section under general anesthesia.
The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block is a regional abdominal wall block that has been effectively used as an adjunct to alleviate postoperative pain. The ultrasound-guided TAP (USTAP) administered by anesthesiologists is the gold standard and has been effective for surgeries involving abdominal wall incisions. Recently, the TAP block has been administered by surgeons with the help of ...
Efficacy of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in colorectal

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has contributed to the implementation of this approach in different kinds of surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of TAP block and its impact on recovery in ...
Role of ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block as a
While opioids are the mainstay for post-operative analgesia after lower segment caesarean section, they are associated with various untoward effects. Ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been postulated to provide effective analgesia for caesarean section. We evaluated the analgesic efficacy of this block for post caesarean analgesia in a randomised controlled trial.
PDF Transversus Abdominis Plane (Tap) Block
This block is indicated for any lower abdominal surgery including appendectomy (4), hernia repair, caesarean section (5), abdominal hysterectomy (6) and prostatectomy (7). Efficacy in laparoscopic surgery and renal transplantation has also been demonstrated (8,9,10). Bilateral blocks can be given for midline incisions or laparoscopic surgery.
The new trending pain-free cesarean section: TAP block ...
Women's pain satisfaction post-cesarean section remains a challenge. Accurate assessment of pain severity of post-cesarean section helps to choose the most appropriate anesthetic approach, drug, and dose, as well as improvement of treatment of postoperative pain. Our objective was to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-assisted transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block versus IV patient ...
Efficacy of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block
At the end of surgery they received bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block either with bupivacaine 0.25% (B group) 20 patients, or saline (S group, or placebo group) 20 patients, followed by patient controlled analgesia with i.v. morphine only. Each patient was assessed 24 hours after delivery for pain, morphine consumption, nausea, vomiting ...
Anesthetic techniques: focus on transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks
A TAP block basically involves deposition of local anesthetic in the plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles to target the nerves passing through them. It is a field block, hence local anesthetic volumes required are high. Since the transversus abdominis plane is spread over a large area traversing dermatomes, it ...
Clinical effectiveness of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks for
Background: The effectiveness of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks for acute pain relief after caesarean section, in comparison to normal practice, remains uncertain. Methods: Electronic literature databases were searched from inception to May 2016 for randomised controlled trials that assessed the effectiveness of TAP blocks following caesarean section.
Ultrasound-guided versus laparoscopic-guided subcostal transversus
Background: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an effective modality for the control of immediate postoperative pain. The present randomized trial aimed to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP (USTAP) and laparoscopic subcostal TAP (LSTAP) block as compared to standard care without TAP block after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Transversus abdominis-plane block versus local anesthetic wound
Background Postoperative pain management is of great importance in perioperative anesthetic care. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been described as an effective technique to reduce postoperative pain and morphine consumption after open lower abdominal operations. Meanwhile, local anesthetic infiltration (LAI) is also commonly used as a traditional method. However, the effectiveness ...
Patients were randomly assigned to laparoscopic or ultrasound-guided TAP block. Both groups were compared for amount of opioid consumption, postoperative pain scores, postoperative nausea and vomiting, bowel movements, peak expiratory flow rate, and time taken for administering the block. Results: We included 60 adult patients in our study.
Transversus Abdominis Plane Block: An Updated Review of Anatomy and
Introduction. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block was first introduced by Rafi [ 1] in 2001 as a landmark-guided technique via the triangle of Petit to achieve a field block. It involves the injection of a local anesthetic solution into a plane between the internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle.
