OBJECTIVE: Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound guided TAB in postoperative pain relief in a cohort of patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy by comparing it with patients who do not receive TAB. The primary end point studied was total 24 hour morphine consumption. The secondary objectives measured were postoperative heart rate, systolic & diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, postoperative pain score, nausea, vomiting and sedation score.
