What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Surgical Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAPB) and Ultrasound Guided TAPB as postoperative pain management techniques for women undergoing elective cesarean sections. Given the high rates of cesarean deliveries in Egypt, the study seeks to determine which method provides better analgesia while minimizing risks associated with traditional techniques. The research will involve full-term pregnant women over 21 years of age who are scheduled for elective cesarean delivery with a specific incision type. The study will assess pain relief outcomes and potential complications associated with each method.
