Summary
Cesarean section is one of the most common major surgical procedures performed worldwide,,
Post-cesarean analgesia should provide adequate pain control while allowing the mother to
remain active to meet the needs of the baby. Insufficient analgesia after cesarean section
may be associated with acute postoperative pain, chronic pain, higher opioid consumption,
delayed functional capacity, and postpartum depression. Techniques such as neuraxial
techniques, oral and intravenous agents, wound infiltration, and behavioral therapy can be
used in the treatment of post-cesarean pain pain. In addition, Transversus abdominis plane
block (TAP), Quadratus Lumborum block (QLB), Erector Spina block (ESP), Transversalis Fascia
plane block (TFP) are used safely under ultrasound guidance. In this study, it was aimed
primarily to examine the effects of TFP and ESP blocks on pain scores, and secondarily to
evaluate analgesic consumption.
