Transversus abdominis plane block: A multimodal analgesia technique – Our experience

Efficacy of Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block as Part of Multimodal Analgesia after Cesarean Section Delivery

Cesarean section (CS) is the Universal surgical procedure which accounts 15 % of birth world wide and 21.1 % in the developed countries [1]. Similarly, it is the common practice in our hospital, Ethiopia. The pain after surgery is experienced by means of patients below umbilicus surgery which derives from the abdominal wall incision [2].

This effective method blocks the sensory nerve supply to the anterior abdominal wall. The authors evaluated its analgesic efficacy over the first 12 postoperative hours after abdominoplasty with liposculpture in a randomized, controlled, double-blind...
