Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to assess safety and efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block (TAP-block) for operations on a liver and bile ducts. All patients were divided into two groups. In the 1st group (n=18) continuous epidural anesthesia/analgesia was performed, in the 2nd one (n=21) - continuous bilateral subcostal oblique TAP-block. Though TAP-block has no advantages over epidural anesthesia/analgesia, but it has acquired a reputation of safe and efficient method of regional anesthesia. Further investigation and improvement of this method are required.
