Transversus abdominis plane block offers prolonged postoperative analgesia than surgical incision infiltration by bupivacaine in cesarean section patients

ABSTRACT

Background and objective: Postoperative pain requires a well-planned analgesia regimen to ensure adequate patient comfort, satisfaction, early mobilization and also to decrease the hospital stay after anesthesia. We conducted this study to compare the transversus abdominis plane block with direct infiltration of bupivacaine into surgical incision in cesarean section to prolong the mean duration of postoperative analgesia
