Abstract :

Introduction:

We evaluated the efficacy of TAP block in providing effective perioperative analgesia in open Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery under general anaesthesia.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 70 adult male patients were randomized to Group T receiving TAP block with 0.25% bupivacaine and Group N with no TAP block followed by general anesthesia. Mean cumulative requirement of analgesic intraoperatively and over the first 48 postoperative hours in patients receiving TAP block and in those not receiving TAP block were compared.

Results:

Total analgesics consumption, no. of doses and total dose of analgesic required in the postoperative period was significantly higher in Group N as compared to Group T.

VAS score was significantly lower in Group T as compared to the Group N withfewer complications.

 

 

Conclusion:

Preincisional TAP block decreases intraoperative fentanyl requirements and provides effective postoperative analgesia.
