  ABSTRACT: Chronic post-operative pain is a recognized adverse consequence of surgery; managing and preventing it are always a better choice. Proper choice of Anesthetic technique, use of combined anesthesia and pre-emptive analgesia may prevent and decrease the incidence of chronic post-operative pain. Transverse abdominis plane block (TAP Block) is a regional anesthesia technique following abdominal surgeries which involve injection of a large amount of local anesthetics in TAP, an anatomical space between the internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscle. The aim of this review is to show the effect and uses of TAP block as a combined anesthesia and multimodal analgesia in preventing chronic post-operative pain.
