“…All PB patients required opioid analgesia until the second postoperative day, when most of them became pain- free, while most of the aesthetic patients were pain-free since the first postoperative hour. These negative results of the TAP block are the first compared to previous positive reports on different types of surgery [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and aesthetic abdominoplasty [12,13]. The strengths of our study consist in the similarities of treatment that patients of both groups received: the same surgeon and anaesthetist operated on all of them, and the same perioperative analgesic protocol, doses and routes of administration were adopted.…”

“…The local anesthetic is deposited in the plane between the transversus abdominis muscle (TAM) and the internal oblique muscle (IOM), where the sensorial afferent bundles of the nerves T7 to T12 and L1 travel [2][3][4]. The positive results achieved in different types of surgery in terms of pain relief over the entire anterior abdominal wall and reduction of the analgesia requirements in the early postoperative period [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] lead our group to experiment it also on aesthetic abdominoplasty [12,13]. The results obtained confirmed the dramatic reduction in terms of analgesic drug consumption in the first postoperative day for both morphine and oral opioids.…”

The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block acts on the nerves localised in the anterior abdominal wall muscles. We evaluated the efficacy on post-bariatric (PB) patients undergoing body-contouring abdominoplasty. We retrospectively evaluated PB patients undergoing abdominoplasty with flank liposuction and compared results to a matched group of TAP aesthetic patients. Outcomes evaluated were the analgesic requirements during the early postoperative days. Fifty-one patients (PB n = 27, aesthetic n = 24) were assessed. No complications were observed. All PB patients required analgesia until the second postoperative day contrarily to most aesthetic ones. Patients with greater flap resected and higher pre-abdominoplasty BMI had greater morphine consumptions. In PB patients, the larger amount of tissues resected corresponded to a greater stimulation of pain fibres that cannot be paralleled by a concomitant increase of the local anesthetic administered. This partially invalidates TAP's efficacy on PB patients.

“…Recently, several authors have reported that interfascial block provides myofascial pain relief [582122]. Domingo et al [5] studied ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle, and they found in a histological study that the interfascial space possesses many piercing nerve branches related to myofascial pain, which explains why interfascial local anesthesia provides some relief from myofascial pain.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the comparative treatment effects of ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency treatment (UG-PRF) in the gastrocnemius interfascial space and ultrasound-guided interfascial injection (UG-INJ) on myofascial pain syndrome.MethodsForty consecutive patients with myofascial pain syndrome of the gastrocnemius were enrolled and were allocated to one of the two groups. Twenty patients were treated by UG-PRF delivered to the gastrocnemius interfascial space (UG-PRF group) and the other 20 patients were treated by interfascial injection (UG-INJ group). The primary outcome measure was the numeric rating score (NRS) for pain on pressing the tender point in the gastrocnemius, and the secondary outcome measure was health-related quality of life as determined by the Short Form-36 questionnaire (SF-36). NRSs were obtained at the first visit, immediately after treatment, and at 2 and 4 weeks post-treatment, and physical component summary scores (PCS) and mental component summary scores (MCS) of the SF-36 questionnaire were measured at the first visit and at 4 weeks post-treatment.ResultsImmediately after treatments, mean NRS in the UG-PRF group was significantly higher than that in the UG-INJ group (p<0.0001). However, at 2 and 4 weeks post-treatment, the mean NRS was significantly lower in the UG-PRF group (both p<0.0001). Similarly, at 4 weeks post-treatment, mean PCS and MCS were significantly higher in the UG-PRF group (p<0.0001 and p=0.002, respectively).ConclusionBased on these results, the authors conclude that ultrasound-guided gastrocnemius interfascial PRF provides an attractive treatment for myofascial pain syndrome of the gastrocnemius.
