TAP Block Alone Versus TAPblock With Rectus Sheath Block in Liposuction Surgery

August 2, 2016 updated by: Hassan Mohamed Ali, Cairo University

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.
