Subarachnoid block with continuous TAP catheter analgesia produces less chronic pain and better functional outcome after inguinal hernioplasty: a randomized controlled observer-blinded study.
We retrospectively compared postoperative analgesia (pain scores and opioid requirements) after open or robotic pancreatoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy among ERP patients receiving either ITM or transversus abdominis plane/quadratus lumborum (TAP/QL) nerve blocks.
Transversus abdominis plane block (TAP block) is a regional anesthetic technique that is found to be an effective post-operative analgesia for many types of abdominal surgeries, including abdominal hysterectomies.
