Overview

Postoperative pain management is critical for the fulfillment of the maternal duties. The transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block provides adequate postoperative analgesia in the T12 and L1 dermatomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the TFP block on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores in patients undergoing cesarean section (CS) under spinal anesthesia.
