TAP Block Alone Versus TAPblock With Rectus Sheath Block in Liposuction Surgery
A study testing Transversus abdominis plane block and rectus sheath block in people with Pain, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.
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. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Alone Versus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block With Rectus Sheath Block as a Postoperative Analgesia in Anterior Abdominal Wall Liposuction Surgery
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.
Read the detailed 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.
