Opioid Consumption Following TAP Block Versus Intraperitoneal/Incisional Bupivicaine in Patients Undergoing Major Gynecologic Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transversus Abdominis Plane Block(TAP Block), Intra-peritoneal infiltration, and 1 other intervention for Pain, Acute. Completed, enrolled 135 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It is a randomized controlled trial to determine the total tramadol consumption after major gynecological studies. Intervention groups include TAP block or local infiltration by the surgeon. These will be compared to a control group. Total tramadol consumption will be calculated and therefore pain control will be assessed.

Timeline
Interventions
Under ultrasound guidance, a 22 gauge stimuplex needle will be used to approach the transversus abdominis plane and 20ml of 0.25% Bupivicaine will be infiltrated into the TAP space. This procedure will be performed on either sides once anesthesia is induced.
Before skin closure, the surgeon will infiltrate the peritoneal cavity using a mixture of bupivicaine and epinephrine
All patients will be given patient controlled intravenous analgesia using Tramadol as the drug
