Abstract
The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a field block and it involves myocutaneous nerves supplying the anterior abdominal wall (T6 to L1). It can be performed through the classical posterior or subcostal approaches.[1] It is commonly used as an adjunct to perioperative analgesia in a wide variety of surgeries, but reports on its role as a sole anaesthetic technique are scarce.[2,3,4] We present a case series of epigastric hernia repair where subcostal TAP block was used as a sole anaesthetic technique.
