About

Transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) has been studied and has shown to be very effective in controlling postoperative pain after caesarean section but has not been studied in open gynecologic surgery with transverse incision. Inadequate pain control after open gynecologic surgery is associated with negative consequences such as chronic pelvic pain. The investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy of TFPB in controlling postoperative pain after open gynecologic surgery with transverse incision.
