Efficacy of modified thoracoabdominal nerve block through perichondrial approach following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery: a randomized controlled trial

Comparison of Quality of Recovery between Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerves Block through Perichondrial Approach versus Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Previously, Tran et al suggested that the newer truncal block should be compared with the TAP block [5]. However, the RCTs on M-TAPA included laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, and in these reports suggesting that M-TAPA was effective, the majority of the patients included in the control group were with wound infiltration or no intervention [12][13][14]. Thus, in this study, we compared the quality of recovery and local anesthetic plasma concentration level of M-TAPA and OSTAPB.…”

“…Modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through a perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) has received increasing attention due to its wide range of analgesic coverage of the trunk (i.e., T7-T12) with a single puncture per side and has been initially reported to provide a long-acting effect [9][10][11]. The efficacy of M-TAPA has been investigated in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in randomized controlled studies [12][13][14]; however, its efficacy in TLH has not been clarified.…”
