Ultrasound guided transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block is an effective method of providing postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries1,2. We compared the postoperative analgesic efficacy of 0.5% levobupivacaine and 0.5% ropivacaine and the requirement of first dose of rescue analgesic medication after total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) performed through a Pfannensteil incision.
