Brief Summary: Postpartum analgesia is a common concern after Cesarean Section (CS). The quality of postoperative recovery is improved by opioid sparing pain control approaches. The transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) is an effective technique for postpartum analgesia after cesarean section. Pregnancy results in thinning of the internal oblique aponeurosis; with increased incidence of missing the second pop to reach the transversus abdominis plane (TAP). The classic blind approach to the TAP is associated with several complications; so, it has been largely replaced by the ultrasound-guided approach to the TAP. The ultrasound-guided approach to the TAPB was first described by Hebbart and his colleagues in 2007.Ultrasound-guided TAPB improves the success of the block, reduces the volume of local anesthetic used and prevents the potential injury of adjacent structures.

Surgical approach to the TAPB was also described, it is a quick and easy approach of establishing a reliable block. The surgeon performs an intra-abdominal approach to the TAPB; by which asepsis is easily attained, visible and tactile confirmation of correct needle placement may be achieved with no risk of damage to the viscera but care must be given to avoid injury of the inferior epigastric vessels.
Detailed Description: Compare the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block via the modified surgeon assisted approach (Study group), to the ultra-sound guided approach (Control group); as regards the post-operative analgesia following Cesarean Section.
