Summary
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy although a minimally invasive procedure, may be accompanied by
considerable pain after surgery. More recently transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block was
extensively studied as a potential analgesic maneuver after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The
subcostal approach (OSTAP block) is a variation on the TAP block that produces reliable
supraumbilical analgesia.
