Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

TAP block creates an analgesic effect by blocking both sensory skin dermotams and viscerosomatic transmission. TAP block with ultrasound was first performed by Hebbard, and the use of USG made the procedure faster and safer. TAP block has been successfully applied for analgesia in procedures such as laparoscopic colocystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, abdominal hysterectomy, prostatectomy and appendectomy. According to the surgical incision to be applied, TAP block is performed from different anatomical regions. It is also applied for pain palliation in intra-abdominal etiologies or rarely for anesthesia in surgical procedures.

The analgesic efficacy of TAP block on preoperative abdominal pain and postoperative surgical pain in acute appendicitis was investigated.
