Intraoperative Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Gynecologic Surgery (GYNTAP)

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 3 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Postoperative Pain, Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

In brief

This study attempts to learn about the effectiveness of a modification to the Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block that works by anaesthetizing the sensory afferents of the abdominal wall postoperatively using ultrasound guidance. The investigators want to see if regional blocks placed by the surgeon intraoperatively to assure regional anesthetic spread in the appropriate plane could reduce error and improve postoperative recovery.
