Introduction:
TAB block has been used as an analgesic adjuvant in many abdominal surgeries with fair reliability, but it has never been used as an anesthetic technique.
Case Presentation:
In this case report, a 19- year-old male underwent an open appendectomy using ultrasound-guided TAP block as a single anesthetic technique.
Conclusions:
It was concluded that under certain circumstances TAP block can be used as an anesthetic modality.
