| Abstract | ||
| Background: Postoperative pain following laparoscopic surgery continues to be a significant issue. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been introduced as a safe and effective analgesic technique. Objective: To compare laparoscopic-guided versus ultrasound-guided TAP block for early postoperative pain control in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) TAPP. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 48 patients with inguinal hernia admitted to Tanta University Hospital and Shebien-Elkom El-Helal Insurance Hospital, Egypt, in the duration from October 2023 till November 2024. Results: Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, rescue analgesia, and analgesic consumption were comparable between groups. Conclusion: Laparoscopic-guided TAP block provides analgesic efficacy equivalent to ultrasound-guided TAP block, with similar safety and low complication rates. | ||
