Clinical Trial Summary

The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an effective regional nerve block for the anterior abdominal wall. An anesthesiologist typically administers the TAP block preoperatively with ultrasound guidance. It is not yet commonly used during anterior abdominal wall liposuction, where postprocedural pain remains a major concern for patients and surgeons.

Description:

The author investigated the feasibility of administering the TAP block under direct vision and compared postoperative narcotic use in patients who received analgesia by TAP block vs with TAP block i addition to rectus sheath block, both performed under direct vision during anterior abdominal wall liposuction.
