Summary
Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Laparoscopic Transverse Abdominis
Plane (Lap TAP) and Rectus Sheath Block in elective Gastric Bypass Surgery aiming to evaluate
the benefit of a laparoscopically -guided, surgical transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block
and rectus sheath block in reducing post-operative opioid consumption and improving outcomes
in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. The results of this study will
provide further evidence on the optimal means to obtain analgesia in patients undergoing
