Why the study?
Does ultrasound-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block with liposomal bupivacaine reduce opioid requirement compared to bupivacaine infiltration in patients undergoing robotic-assisted and laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Does ultrasound-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block with liposomal bupivacaine reduce opioid requirement compared to bupivacaine infiltration in patients undergoing robotic-assisted and laparoscopic hysterectomy?
TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine reduces postoperative opioid use and improves recovery quality after minimally invasive hysterectomy.
Supports TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine for opioid-sparing recovery after minimally invasive hysterectomy; extends evidence for regional analgesia in gynecologic surgery.
TAP blockade reduced the requirement for opioid pain medication in the first 72 hrs after surgery, had more patients opioid free at 72 hrs, and improved patients' quality of their recovery.
