TAPA is a new analgesic block technique that involves the injection of local anesthetics into the thoracoabdominal nerves using a perichondrial approach. Application to the undersurface of the rib cartilage is considered as Modified TAPA (M-TAPA). These techniques are commonly applied for postoperative analgesia in surgeries and are effective and safe when performed under ultrasound guidance.
