TAP block with acupoint injection enhances recovery post-surgery

The application of a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block combined with acupoint injection significantly improved postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Compared to the control group, those receiving TAP-dv and TAP-dva exhibited lower pain scores at 6, 24, and 48 hours post-surgery, with TAP-dva showing superior results. Additionally, inflammatory markers reduced, and complications like nausea and vomiting decreased. Hospital stays and costs were also lower for patients receiving TAP interventions.
