Efficacy Of Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block For Post Cesarean Section Pain
Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the World. Moderate to severe postoperative pain occurs in a significant proportion of women after cesarean surgery. Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve (M-TAPA) block performed with ultrasound (US) is a novel technique that provides effective analgesia in the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal areas, where local anesthetic is applied only to the lower side of the perichondral surface. M-TAPA block is a good alternative for analgesia of the upper dermatome levels and the abdominal lateral Wall, provides analgesia in the abdominal area at the T5-T11 level. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of US-guided M-TAPA block for postoperative analgesia management after cesarean section.
