Summary
The Transversus Abdominal Plane (TAP) block has been used with good success to decrease postoperative pain following laparatomy. If the TAP block provides any improvement in the quality of recovery following laparoscopic hysterectomy, it could decrease the need for postoperative narcotics and allow for more outpatient hysterectomy procedures.
