Ultrasound guided TAP block for the treatment of postoperative prolonged pain - an alternative approach
Transversus abdominis bloğu (TAB), L1-3 sinir köklerinin kutanöz dallarının, T7-12 interkostal snirlerin, ilioinguinal ve iliohipogastrik sinirlerin internal oblik ve transersus abdominis kasları arasında bloke edildiği, görece olarak yeni bir rejyonel anestezi tekniğidir. Bu teknik daha çok abdominal cerrahi sonrası akut postoperatif ağrının tedavisi için kullanılmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda üst abdominal cerrahi sonrası TABın kullanılması anlatılmaktadır.
Uzamış postoperatif ağrının tedavisinde ultrason yardımıyla TAP blok - alternatif bir yaklaşım
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a relatively new regional anesthesia technique in which T7-12 intercostal nerves, ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves, and cutaneous branches of L1-3 nerves are blocked between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. This technique is mostly used for the treatment of acute postoperative pain following abdominal surgery. In this case report, we evaluate the usage of TAP block in prolonged pain following upper abdominal surgery.
