Whereas the initial focus and efforts after physical trauma are on patient survival and treatment of major physical injuries, the focus of the survivors will subsequently shift toward attention to pain and disabilities, as well as physical and psychosocial functions.Both due to the physical injury and the frequent need of surgical interventions, trauma patients will experience acute pain. With healing of the wounds and injured structures, the patients are expected to recover to a pain-free state. Still, in 10-63%, 1-4 the pain will continue into a state of chronic pain.The transition from acute to chronic pain is a complex multifactorial process involving biological, psychological, and social-environmental factors. 3,5-9 A range of risk factors have been identified in this transition, in addition to the extent and characteristics of the physical trauma and surgeries. Previous or concurrent pain, female gender, young age, low education level, no pre-injury employment status, low social support, preoperative anxiety, and a pain

“…Acute pain due to surgical injury or incision initiates series of neurochemical reactions at the site of injury and also initiates a cascade of changes leading to sensitization in CNS. The occurrence of this hyperalgesic state may be advantageous and lead to less using of the injured part gradually allowing healing [10].…”

Chronic post-operative pain is a recognized adverse consequence of surgery; managing and preventing it are always a better choice. Proper choice of Anesthetic technique, use of combined anesthesia and pre-emptive analgesia may prevent and decrease the incidence of chronic post-operative pain. Transverse abdominis plane block (TAP Block) is a regional anesthesia technique following abdominal surgeries which involve injection of a large amount of local anesthetics in TAP, an anatomical space between the internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscle. The aim of this review is to show the effect and uses of TAP block as a combined anesthesia and multimodal analgesia in preventing chronic post-operative pain.
