Transverse abdominis plane block

A transverse abdominis plane block is a regional technique to provide analgesia after lower abdominal wall operations. The techniques was first introduced by Rafi^[1] in 2001. It is performed using local anesthetic agent mostly Ropivacaine, Bupivacaine but block does not last longer compared to when given with new drug Liposomal bupivacaine. There are multiple studies confirming liposomal bupivacaine TAP block is effective for up to 72 hours after the surgery.
