Abstract
Background
Effective postoperative pain control reduces morbidity, facilitates early mobilization, decreases
opioid consumption, and improves patient satisfaction. Ultrasound-guided regional blocks are
important components of multimodal analgesia. This study compared the efficacy of the
Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block and Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) for
postoperative analgesia following abdominal surgeries.
