This single blind prospective randomised control study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the TAP block for postoperative pain, as part of a multimodal analgesic regimen in patients undergoing TAH.
Material and methods: Sixty adult female patients undergoing Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) under general anaesthesia were randomized to undergo TAP block with Ropivacaine along with intravenous paracetamol and diclofenac in group I (n=30) verses group II (n=30) with intravenous paracetamol and diclofenac alone.
