Abstract

There are a variety of regional nerve blocks that have been utilized in abdominoplasty procedures including transversus abdominis plane (TAP), intercostal, rectus sheath (RS), pararectus + ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric, quadratus lumborum, and paravertebral blocks. No consensus exists regarding the most effective nerve block modality in optimizing postprocedural comfort levels.
