This study aimed to compare bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block with single-shot local anesthetic wound infiltration for analgesia after cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia
This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to compare bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block to single-shot local anesthetic wound infiltration for analgesia after cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia. This will be done by measuring VAS (visual analogue score) for pain after ceserian section at2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hours .

Exclusion Criteria:
after completion of surgery, bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block was performed . Description of the intervention: a 12-4-MHz linear array transducer (ClearVue 350; Philips, Bothell, WA) placed transversely between the iliac crest and costal margin in the anterior axillary line and slid medial-lateral to visualize the external oblique, internal oblique, and trans-versus abdominis muscles; the most lateral (posterior) position obtaining a satisfactory ultrasound image was used ;A 22-gauge spinal needle was introduced from medial to lateral in-plane to the ultrasound probe, and 20 mL of bupivacaine 0.25% was injected under visualization in the plane between the transversus abdominis muscle and the fascia deep to the internal oblique muscle on each side.
Device: TAP block
at the end of surgery, 40 mL of bupivacaine 0.25% was injected subcutaneously in the surgical wound (20 mL in each of the upper and lower sides) by the obstetrician before skin closure.
Device: TAP block
routine analgesic was administered and recorded .

The degree of pain at rest ;
using an Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for pain intensity reported on 0-10 point scale for analysis. (0 = no pain and 10 = the worst possible pain) .
Time frame: From 2 hours to 24 hours postoperatively
The time to the first postoperative opioid dose
cumulative opioid consumption
Time frame: at 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours.
The degree of pain on movement (hip flexion and coughing)
using an Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for pain intensity reported on 0-10 point scale for analysis. (0 = no pain and 10 = the worst possible pain) .
Time frame: From 2 hours to 24 hours postoperatively
