Quadratus lumborum block vs. transversus abdominis plane block in laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal repair of inguinal hernia in adults: A randomised controlled trial

Abstract

QL block provided better perioperative analgesia than TAP block, in patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair. It also leads to greater dermatomal spread but without any decrease in the incidence of chronic pain at 3 months postoperatively.
