Upon entering the plane between the internal oblique and the transversus abdominis muscles, and after negative aspiration of blood, the local anesthetic is slowly injected. The TAP compartment begins to separate, hydrodissect, or \"unzip\" as the local anesthetic is injected, pushing the transversus abdominis muscle down. An injection of 20 ml of the prepared solution is injected for each side.
