Summary
In many countries, caesarean section (CS) rates have been increasing. The international
literature is unclear regarding the analgesic efficacy of the transversus abdominis plane
block (TAPB) after a CS. In particular, no clinical trials exist in which the correct method
of performing this block has been matched with the obtained analgesic effect after a CS. The
primary goal of the study was to determine whether a correctly performed ultrasound-guided
TAPB (USG-TAPB) could provide patients who underwent a CS with better control of acute
postoperative pain during the first 72 hours after surgery
