Abstract

Various techniques are used for postoperative pain relief after laparoscopic surgeries which includes parenteral analgesics, abdominal nerve blocks, truncal blocks such as the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) block. TAP block has gained popularity as an effective analgesia technique in patients undergoing various abdominal surgical procedures and works by blocking the anterior rami of the spinal nerves of the abdominal anterior wall after spreading of the local anaesthetic agent in the neurofascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle, thereby relieving the pain. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is an interfascial plane block given at the paraspinal region and provides effective visceral and somatic analgesia. This study compared the analgesic efficacy of a bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) block with that of a bilateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block after laparoscopic surgeries.
