Summary
This study attempts to learn about the effectiveness of a modification to the Transversus
Abdominis Plane (TAP) block that works by anaesthetizing the sensory afferents of the
abdominal wall postoperatively using ultrasound guidance. The investigators want to see if
regional blocks placed by the surgeon intraoperatively to assure regional anesthetic spread
in the appropriate plane could reduce error and improve postoperative recovery.
