Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Age \> 18 years, English speaking, receiving a kidney transplant or donating a kidney as part of standard clinical care
Exclusion
- Allergy to local anesthetics or opioids, coagulopathy or dementia. Patients with known history of IV drug abuse and with very high preoperative opioid requirements (defined as \> 120 mg oxycodone/ day, use of methadone or fentanyl patches) will also be excluded from this study.
- Coagulopathy will be assessed by the patient's history and physical. Should there be concerns regarding "easy bleeding" or "easy bruising", further workup of the patient's coagulation will be ordered (PT, PTT, INR). Since we perform the TAP block after 3-4 hours of kidney surgery, any patient with coagulopathy will most likely have been canceled prior to surgery. Therefore, we would deem any patient, who was eligible for kidney surgery, eligible for a TAP block at the end of the surgical procedure.
