Background: Transversus abdominis plane block is a regional anaesthesia technique. It provides analgesia after abdominal surgery particularly where parietal wall pain forms major component of pain. It allows sensory blockade of lower abdominal wall skin and muscles via local anaesthetic deposition above transverses abdominus muscle. We evaluated the efficacy of TAP block with Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine for post operative analgesia in abdominal surgery, a double blind, prospective randomized controlled trial
