Background: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks have been used for analgesia in various abdominal surgeries. However, a TAP block as the sole anesthetic method for surgery has rarely been reported.Case: A 33-year-old breastfeeding primipara woman was admitted to the hospital due to a rectus abdominis muscle hematoma. Because the patient refused other anesthetic methods, evacuation of the hematoma was performed under an ultrasound-guided bilateral TAP block. A 23-gauge needle was inserted in an in-plane method using a linear ultrasound probe. An injection of 10 ml of 2% lidocaine was made to the right lateral TAP and the left lateral TAP. After confirming the sensory blockade of the T10 to T12 dermatomes, surgery was performed successfully. The patient’s condition stabilized during the surgery. Breastfeeding was performed on the day of surgery. Conclusions: The evacuation of an abdominal wall hematoma in a breastfeeding patient was successfully performed under a bilateral TAP block.

Introduction: The TAP block is a regional anesthetic technique, which blocks neural afferents between T6 and L1, which provide anterior abdominal walls and therefore help to alleviate postoperative pain. Aim: The aim is to compare the efficacy of preoperative single low dose of intravenous MgSO4 versus intravenous dexamethasone as adjuvants to ultrasound guided TAP block for prolongation of postcesaren analgesia. Materials and Methods: A total 60 pregnant females were selected undergoing elective caesarean sections under general anesthesia with ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block done at the end of surgery. Patients were randomly and equally allocated into three groups of 20 patients each. The first group of patients were classified as magnesium sulphate group (M)who received 50 mg/Kg IV, the second group of patients were classified as dexamethasone group (D) who received 2 mg IV and the third group was classified as the placebo group (C) who received IV saline. Results: Comparison of the VAS at 6 and 12 hours postoperatively showed statistically significantly lower values in group (M) and group (D) compared to group (C) and also group (M) was significantly lower than group (D) as well. The time interval until first rescue analgesia (Nalbuphine) needed by the patients (VAS ≥ 50) was significantly longer in group (M) compared to group (D) and group (C) consecutively. Additionally, it was significantly longer in group (D) than in the control group(C). The total dose of rescue analgesia consumed during the first 24 hours postoperatively was significantly lower in groups (M) than in group (D) and both groups showed lesser doses compared to group (C) Conclusion: We concluded that both MgSO4 and dexamethasone could prolong the postoperative duration and analgesic efficiency provided by the TAP block in cesarean sections. This further reduced the demands for postoperative rescue analgesia, with MgSO4 found to be more efficient than IV dexamethasone. Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT04223128

Abstract Background Previous study indicated that transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block could be the principal anesthetic technique for peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) implantations. However, a TAP block could not provide an optimal anesthetic effect on catheter exit site during PDC implantation. We hypothesized that single-injection ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (US-TPVB) could be the principal anesthetic technique with better pain relief at catheter exit site during PDC implantation, compared to a TAP block. And anesthesia quality of a single-injection US-TPVB was compared with that of a TAP block and local anesthetic infiltration (LAI). Methods Patients undergoing PDC implantations were randomized into groups TPVB or TAP or LAI. In group TPVB, single-injection US-TPVB at T10-T11 level was performed with 20 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine. In group TAP, oblique subcostal TAP block was performed with 20 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine. In group LAI, 40 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine was used. Anesthesia quality was compared among the three groups, including general anesthesia conversion rate, cumulative rescuing sufentanil consumption, and satisfaction rate by nephrologists and patients. Results Eighty-eight eligible patients were enrolled. Visual analogue scale (VAS) at most time points (except for the catheter exit site) were lower in group TAP, compared with group TPVB. VAS at parietal peritoneum manipulation was 6 (5, 7), 3 (0, 6), and 7 (4.75, 9) in groups TPVB, TAP, and LAI, respectively (P < 0.001). VAS at catheter exit site was 4 (3, 4), 5.5 (4, 8), and 5 (3, 7.25) in groups TPVB, TAP, and LAI, respectively (P = 0.005). Lower general anesthesia conversion rate, less cumulative rescuing sufentanil consumption, and higher satisfaction rates by nephrologists and patients were recorded in group TAP, compared with groups TPVB and LAI. Conclusions Single-injection US-TPVB provided a better pain relief at catheter exit site. The quality and reliability of anesthesia after a single-injection US-TPVB was comparable to that of LAI, but not better than that of an oblique subcostal TAP block for PDC implantation.

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional anesthetic technique used to desensitize the abdominal wall in several species. This study aimed to describe the anatomical characteristics of the abdominal wall and to identify a feasible approach for an US-guided TAP injection that would result in adequate staining of the relevant nerves in the abdominal wall in pig cadavers. Fresh cadavers from five Landrace pigs (age, 12 weeks; body weight, 35.5 ± 1.6 kg) were used. One pig (n = 1) was anatomically dissected, and four pigs (n = 4; i.e., 8 hemiabdomens) were used for TAP injections and evaluation of dye spread. The volume of 0.3 mL/kg/injection point of methylene blue was injected bilaterally. In the caudal retrocostal approach, the injection was performed ventral to the most caudal part of the costal arch. In the lateral approach, the injection was performed between the last rib and iliac crest. A needle was inserted in plane for the caudal retrocostal and the lateral approach caudocranially and craniocaudally, respectively. Successful staining was defined as presence of dye on the nerve for a length of >1 cm in its entire circumference. The TAP was found between different muscle layers in the described anatomical regions. In the caudal retrocostal approach the TAP was found between the external abdominal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle bellies. In the lateral approach the TAP was found between the internal abdominal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. The approach combining lateral and caudal retrocostal injections at the studied volume stained a median of 5 (3–6) target nerves from the fourth-last thoracic nerve to L2 (six nerves). Combined caudal retrocostal and lateral TAP injections of 0.3 mL/kg/injection point, resulted in staining of target nerve branches which supply the periumbilical and caudal abdominal wall in pig cadavers.

Abstract Patients with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) present serious challenges to anesthetist in securing of airway; upper airway obstruction and difficult tracheal intubation are considered complex entity in these patients. This case report describes the significance of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block as a sole anesthetic choice in appendectomy where airway management can be avoided. A 17-year-old boy, known case of TCS, presented with acute appendicitis underwent emergency laparotomy. Surgery was successfully performed by TAP block with dexmedetomidine infusion. Open appendectomy can be performed successfully in certain circumstances under TAP block with adjunctive use of dexmedetomidine infusion where airway handling is avoided. Further studies are warranted to distinct its use as sole anesthetic choice in lower abdominal surgeries.

Caesarean Section Delivery

Operasi caesar merupakan prosedur bedah yang paling umum dilakukan di seluruh dunia. Operasi ini menyebabkan nyeri pasca operatif sedang hingga berat sebagai akibat insisi pfannenstiel yang umumnya dikaitkan dengan rasa nyeri pada uterus dan somatik pada dinding abdomen. Analgesia pasca operasi yang memadai pada pasien obstetrik sangat penting karena mereka memiliki kebutuhan pemulihan bedah yang berbeda, yaitu meliputi menyusui dan perawatan bayi baru lahir, hal ini dapat terganggu jika analgesia yang diberikan tidak memuaskan. Rejimen analgesik pasca operasi yang ideal harus efektif tanpa mempengaruhi ibu untuk merawat neonates dan dengan efek transfer obat yang seminimal mungkin melalui ASI. Saat ini banyak cara yang paling aman dan efektif dari intervensi manajemen nyeri pasca operasi seperti anestesi lokal dengan infiltrasi kulit, analgesia epidural, dan blok bidang seperti blok transversus abdominis plane (TAP) dan blok ilioinguinal-iliohipogastrik (II-IH). Blok TAP merupakan teknik anestesi regional dimana serabut saraf aferen yang menginervasi dinding abdomen bagian anterolateral diblokir dengan mengguakan anestesi lokal di bidang transversus abdominalis. Potensinya dalam meningkatkan kualitas dan durasi analgesia setelah berbagai operasi abdomen bawah sudah tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi. Sekarang, dengan bantuan USG menjadikan blok TAP sebagai metode yang aman dan efektif untuk memberikan analgesia pasca operasi caesar dibandingkan dengan perawatan standar pasca operasi. Selain itu, blok TAP juga dikaitkan dengan pengurangan konsumsi opioid, peningkatan kepuasan pasien, dan efektif untuk mengurangi nyeri dibandingkan dengan teknik analgesia lainnya. Efficacy of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block After Post Caesarean Section Delivery Abstract Caesarean section is the most common surgical procedure performed worldwide. This operation causes moderate to severe postoperative pain as a result of pfannenstiel incision which is commonly associated with pain in the uterus and somatic in the abdominal wall. Adequate postoperative analgesia in obstetric patients is very important because they have different surgical recovery needs, which include breastfeeding and newborn care, this is can be disrupted if the analgesia given is not satisfactory. The ideal postoperative analgesic rejimen must be effective without affecting the mother to treat the neonate and with minimal effect of drug transfer through breast milk. There are currently many of the safest and effective ways of interventions for postoperative pain management such as local anesthetic skin infiltration, epidural analgesia, and field block like TAP and II-IH. TAP block is a regional anesthetic technique where afferent nerve fibers that innervate the anterolateral abdominal wall are blocked by using local anesthesia in the transverse abdominal plane area. Potential in improving the quality and duration of analgesia after various lower abdominal operations is inevitable. Now, with ultrasound guiding, the TAP block is a safe and effective method for providing analgesia post caesarean section delivery compared to standard postoperative care. In addition, TAP block is also associated with a reduction of opioid consumption, increased patient satisfaction, and is effective in reducing pain compared to other analgesia technique.

Background: The transversus abdominis plane block (TAP block), a regional block, provides effective analgesia after lower abdominal surgeries. The objective of this study was to assess whether transversus abdominis plane block is effective as part of multimodal pain management following Cesarean section. Materials and Method: Totally, 60 ASA I and II parturients for Cesarean section via Pfannenstiel incision under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to either the TAP block group or the control. The TAP block group received a landmark-orientated, bilateral TAP block with 0.25% levobupivacain 17,5ml each side in the triangle of Petit. Postoperative pain treatment followed the same protocole for both groups with 1gram paracetamol intravenously and received patrient-controlled analgesia with intravenous morphine. The time to first request of analgesic, morphine consumption, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores and side effects were scored at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 h postoperatively. Results: The time to first request of analgesic was longer, morphine consumption was lower in TAP group than in the control (p < 0.05). Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores at rest and on mouvement were similar in two groups at 2h, but lower in TAP group from 4h (p < 0.05). No severe adverse effects were detected in two groups. Conclusion: TAP block prolonged the time to fisrt request of analgesic and reduced morphine consumption, the VAS pain scores significantly both at rest and on mouvement. Therefore, TAP block is feasible and effective as part of a multimodal analgesia regimen after Caesarean section. Key words: Caesarean section, multimodal pain management, transversus abdominis plane block

Background: Patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) may experience significant postoperative pain due to the extensive approach and multiple osteotomies. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on reducing opioid consumption and improving clinical outcome in PAO patients. Patients and Methods: We conducted a two-group randomized-controlled trial in 42 consecutive patients undergoing a PAO for symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The study group received an ultrasound-guided TAP block with 20 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine prior to surgery. The control group did not receive a TAP block. All patients received a multimodal analgesia with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) (etoricoxib and metamizole) and an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with piritramide (1.5 mg bolus, 10 min lockout-time). The primary endpoint was opioid consumption within 48 h after surgery. Secondary endpoints were pain scores, assessment of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), measurement of the quality of recovery using patient-reported outcome measure and length of hospital stay. Forty-one patients (n = 21 TAP block group, n = 20 control group) completed the study, per protocol. One patient was lost to follow-up. Thirty-three were women (88.5%) and eight men (19.5%). The mean age at the time of surgery was 28 years (18–43, SD ± 7.4). All TAP blocks were performed by an experienced senior anaesthesiologist and all operations were performed by a single, high volume surgeon. Results: The opioid consumption in the TAP block group was significantly lower compared to the control group at 6 (3 mg ± 2.8 vs. 10.8 mg ± 5.6, p < 0.0001), 24 (18.4 ± 16.2 vs. 30.8 ± 16.4, p = 0.01) and 48 h (29.1 mg ± 30.7 vs. 54.7 ± 29.6, p = 0.04) after surgery. Pain scores were significantly reduced in the TAP block group at 24 h after surgery. There were no other differences in secondary outcome parameters. No perioperative complication occurred in either group. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided TAP block significantly reduces the perioperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing PAO.
