Caesarean section delivery is becoming more frequent and at present is one of the most common major operative procedures performed worldwide. It is important that effective postoperative analgesia is provided to facilitate early ambulation, infant care (which also includes breast feeding, mother infant bonding) and prevention of postoperative morbidity. Therefore, the analgesic regimen needs to meet the goals of providing safe and effective analgesia with minimal side effects for the mother and the neonate. TAP block as a part of multimodal analgesic regimen would result in decreased opioid and NSAID consumption and improved analgesia. TAP block is conventionally performed by the anaesthesiologist, using a percutaneous approach under ultrasound-guidance. The surgically administered TAP block is a variant of TAP block administration, the efficacy of which in comparison to the conventional TAP block as a part of multimodal analgesic regimen following caesarean section is not very widely studied till date. Our study is designed to assess if the newly described surgical TAP block is as effective as the conventional TAP block (by comparing the requirement of rescue analgesia in both the groups) for post-operative analgesia following caesarean section in the Indian set-up in which surgical TAP block prove to be an easier procedure as there no the need for skilled operators or specialized equipment.
