Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital Peshawar, from Apr 2016 to Oct 2016.
Results: Both the groups were comparable with to assess frequency of analgesic for pain relieve after TAP Block Vs local infiltration with bupivacaine. In group A the frequency of analgesic requirement was less as compared to group B (p<0.05).
Material and Methods: Ninety two patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included by consecutive sampling technique for this study and divided into two groups of 46 each. Patients of group A were administered transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block via ultrasound guide. Patients in group B received local infiltration with Bupivacaine.
