Transversus Abdominis Plane Catheters for Analgesia Following Abdominal Surgery in Adults

The authors searched electronic databases and relevant reference lists for randomized controlled trials published between inception and January 2017. Twelve randomized controlled trials were identified, comprising 661 participants, with several trials showing either an equivalence or superiority in analgesia compared with the alt...
