Brief Summary

The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an effective regional nerve block for the anterior abdominal wall. An anesthesiologist typically administers the TAP block preoperatively with ultrasound guidance. It is not yet commonly used during anterior abdominal wall liposuction, where postprocedural pain remains a major concern for patients and surgeons.
