Summary

the study will evaluate the effect of transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) on chronic post-groin surgeries orchalgia (chronic testicular pain)

Conditions

  • Chronic Post-surgical Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

TAP block

Whilst the patient is in the supine position, a high frequency ultrasound probe (10 MH) is placed transverse to the abdominal wall between the costal margin and iliac crest. The needle is introduced in plane of the ultrasound probe directly under the probe and advanced until it reaches the plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. Upon reaching the plane, 2 ml of saline is injected to confirm correct needle position after which 20 ml of levobupivacaine, 25% plus triamcinolone, 80 mg solution is injected for TAP group and 20 ml of saline only is injected for SHAM group.. The transversus abdominis plane is visualized expanding with the injection ( appears as a hypoechoic space)
