The transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional anesthetic technique that provides analgesia to the anterolateral abdominal wall. Performing the block under ultrasound guidance improves accuracy, increases success rates, and reduces the risk of complications. Although the TAP block is generally considered to have a low complication rate, this case report describes the development of an abdominal wall hematoma following a TAP block performed for chronic abdominal pain management in an outpatient setting.
