Letter to the Editor: Assessing effect of local block on quality of recovery following cesarean delivery under general anesthesia.

A letter to the editor of the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics discusses a study that evaluated the effect of the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) on postoperative recovery following cesarean delivery under general anesthesia. The study found that TAPB improved the quality of early postoperative recovery compared to intravenous analgesia. However, the letter raises concerns about the study's methodology and results, including the lack of information on wound infiltration of local anesthetics and the use of non-standardized analgesic protocols. The authors also question the inadequate quality of early postoperative recovery and suggest a longer follow-up period for assessment. The letter concludes with the authors' contributions and a statement of no conflicts of interest. [Extracted from the article]
