Conditions
Condition to be investigated - Analgesia requirements in patients having renal transplant surgery. The study proposes to reduce current requirements for morphine post-operatively by the use of a Tranversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block. This is a technique of depositing local anaesthetic (bupivacaine) into the plane between the transversus abdominis and internal oblique muscles of the abdominal wall, thus providing analgesia to the area in which the surgery takes place.
