  Purpose

Women undergoing elective cesarean delivery, performed under a standard spinal anesthesia, will be randomized to undergo either TAP block or incisional infiltration with local anesthetic, in addition to standard postoperative analgesia comprising regular acetaminophen, nefopam and ketoprofen. Short acting oral morphine will be given as a rescue treatment in case of severe pain.
