INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the World. Moderate to severe postoperative pain occurs in a significant proportion of women after cesarean surgery. The analgesic effectiveness of TAP block has been demonstrated after cesarean section operations. m-TAPA block has been described as an alternative analgesic technique in abdominal surgeries. The aim of this study is to compare these two analgesic methods in terms of effectiveness for postoperative analgesia management after cesarean section.

Interventions
M-TAPA block will be performed to Group M-TAPA at the end of the surgery, using US (Vivid Q) while the patient is in the supine position After providing aseptic conditions, the high frequency linear US probe (11-12 MHz, Vivid Q) will be covered with a sterile sheath, and an 80 mm block needle (Braun 360°) will be used. The US probe will be placed in the sagittal plane where the midclavicular line intersects with the costal cartilage corresponding to the costochondral angle. Using the In Plane technique, the probe is gently pushed to visualize the lower part of the costochondral angle at the central level, advancing the block needle in the caudal-cranio direction, 5 ml of saline will be injected into the layer between the transverse abdominal muscle and the lower plane of the costal cartilage, and the block location will be confirmed. After the block location is confirmed, a total of 20 ml + 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine (total 40 ml for both sides) will be injected bilaterally

After providing aseptic conditions, the high frequency linear US probe (11-12 MHz, Vivid Q) will be covered with a sterile sheath, and an 80 mm block needle (Braun 360°) will be used. USG will be placed transversely on the mid-axillary line between the iliac crest and subcostal planes. Using the In Plane technique, the block needle will be advanced into the fascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles and the location will be confirmed by administering 5 ml of saline.
