M-Tapa Block for Laparoscopic Cholesistectomy

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-05-20
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve (M-TAPA) block is a novel block that provides effective analgesia of the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal walls during laparoscopic surgery, in which local anesthetic is applied only to the lower side of the perichondral surface. M-TAPA block is a good alternative for analgesia of the upper dermatome levels and the abdominal lateral wall, and may be an opioid-sparing strategy with satisfactory quality improvement in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
