The Current Consideration, Approach, and Management in Postcesarean Delivery Pain Control: A Narrative Review

Table 2

Comparison efficacy of regional anesthetic techniques on analgesic efficacy.

	Possible advantages	Possible disadvantages
Single-shot local anesthetic wound infiltration	Easy to perform; May benefit patients who did not receive intrathecal morphine [49]	Provides only somatic pain relief; Limited duration of action: 4–12 h [51, 52]
Continuous wound infusion	Decreased opioid consumption [53]	Provides only somatic pain relief; Risk of leakage [53]; Risk of dislodge [53]
Bilateral transversus abdominis plane blocks	Decreased opioid consumption [63]; Duration of action: 6–12 h [63]	Provides only somatic pain relief [60]; Higher risk of local anesthetic systemic toxicity than with other techniques [65, 84]; Risk of block-related side effects
Bilateral quadratus lumborum blocks	Decreased opioid consumption [77, 78]; Duration of action up to 24–48 h [76, 87]	Provides somatic ± visceral pain relief [88]; Risk of block-related side effects
