No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Ultrasound (US)-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) has demonstrated favourable results in lower abdominal surgery. Literature about its efficacy in breast reconstruction surgery with transversus rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap is still scarce.

In the current study investigators pretend to evaluate the efficacy of US-guided bilateral TAP block for unilateral breast reconstruction using autologous abdominal graft in women with breast cancer's history.
