Résumé
The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has shown great potential usefulness in the management of postoperative pain; however, there is lacking evidence regarding its use in bariatric surgery. This randomized double-blind trial was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of the TAP block and port-site infiltration (PSI) in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. We included patients ≥ 18 years old undergoing bariatric surgery. From July 2020 to July 2021, all eligible patients were randomized to receive either laparoscopic-assisted TAP block or PSI. Demographic and clinical data were collected and analyzed. During the study period, we included 113 patients. Fifty-one were allocated to the TAP block group and 62 to the PSI group. The mean age was 47.9 ± 11.2 years, 88 (77.9%) patients were female, and mean BMI was 40.5 ± 5.9 kg/m Patients undergoing bariatric surgery and receiving either the TAP block or the PSI had similar postoperative pain, nausea, length of stay, and satisfaction. As PSI is technically easier and more reproducible, it might be the first choice for postoperative multimodal analgesia in bariatric surgery.

BACKGROUND
The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has shown great potential usefulness in the management of postoperative pain; however, there is lacking evidence regarding its use in bariatric surgery. This randomized double-blind trial was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of the TAP block and port-site infiltration (PSI) in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
METHODS
We included patients ≥ 18 years old undergoing bariatric surgery. From July 2020 to July 2021, all eligible patients were randomized to receive either laparoscopic-assisted TAP block or PSI. Demographic and clinical data were collected and analyzed.
RESULTS
During the study period, we included 113 patients. Fifty-one were allocated to the TAP block group and 62 to the PSI group. The mean age was 47.9 ± 11.2 years, 88 (77.9%) patients were female, and mean BMI was 40.5 ± 5.9 kg/m
CONCLUSIONS
Patients undergoing bariatric surgery and receiving either the TAP block or the PSI had similar postoperative pain, nausea, length of stay, and satisfaction. As PSI is technically easier and more reproducible, it might be the first choice for postoperative multimodal analgesia in bariatric surgery.
