Summary
Using Magnetic resonance (MR) scanning and ultrasonography the investigators wish to
investigate, in what way a known volume of local anesthetic injectate will be distributed in
the transverse abdominis plane (TAP) in young healthy male volunteers. The investigators
compare the anatomical distribution of the local anesthetic injectate in the TAP when
performing an ultrasound-guided classical TAP block and a Dual TAP block. The investigators
also want to compare the spread of anesthetized frontal dermatomes when performing an
ultrasound-guided classical TAP block and a Dual TAP block.
