Abstract EN
The use of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block to provide either analgesia or anesthesia to the anterior abdominal wall is well described.
The technique yields high analgesic effectiveness and is opioid sparing and potentially of long duration with reported analgesia lasting up to 36 hours.
When compared to neuraxial analgesia, TAP blocks are associated with a lower incidence of hypotension and motor blockade.
TAP blocks are typically described as providing somatic analgesia only without any effect on visceral pain.
There may be, however, certain conditions in which TAP blocks can provide effective analgesia in pain of visceral or mixed somatic and visceral origin.
We describe two cases in which TAP blockade provided complete control of pain considered to be of visceral origin.
