A double-blinded, randomized trial comparing surgeon-administered transversus abdominis plane block with placebo after midline laparotomy in gynecologic oncology surgery

Incisional infiltration versus transversus abdominis plane block of liposomal bupivacaine after midline vertical laparotomy for suspected gynecologic malignancy: a pilot study

“…Bernard et al recently published a randomized controlled trial evaluating surgeon-administered TAP block with bupivacaine versus placebo in a similar patient population as this cohort of suspected or known gynecologic malignancy ( Bernard et al, 2023 ). Their data showed that surgeon-administered TAP block was not superior to placebo in reducing postoperative opioid requirement or improving postoperative outcomes.…”
