Abstrakt: Objective: To compare the mean time for analgesic requirement of transversus abdominis plane block with direct infiltration of local anesthetic into surgical incision in lower abdominal gynecological surgeries. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Department of Anesthesia, Combined Military Hospital, Kharian. Period: 1st July 2022 to 1st January 2023. Methods: A total of 60 patients with 30 patients in each group undergoing elective c section were included in the study. Patients were counselled about VAS scoring system before procedure. Time (in minutes) for first rescue analgesia and requirement in 24 hours was noted. Results: Mean time required for first analgesia was 143.966±8.15 minutes in group A as compare to 86.400±7.08 minutes in group B (p=0.000). Conclusion: Our study has concluded that TAP block is a promising technique in alleviating postoperative pain in patients undergoing lower abdominal gynecological surgeries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
