Summary
In patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery, postoperative pain management is frequently
provided with systemic opioids use or neuraxial methods. Ultrasound-guided TFP block is the
preferred method to reduce the use of opioids and systemic analgesics for postoperative pain
management. TFP block provides anesthesia and analgesia in the inguinal region by blocking
the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves.
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of ultrasound-guided TFP Block on
postoperative pain scores in pediatric lower abdominal surgery.
