**7. Conclusion**

At the present review, we show several data about the efficacy of the regional analgesic block alternatives to manage the post-Cesarean section pain. The most studied technique is the TAP block due to ease of replication and its effectiveness. But there has been developed new techniques that require a little more experience to perform them and guarantee a better analgesic outcome like the quadratus lumborum block or the ESP block. Nevertheless, the gold standard for the pain management after Cesarean section still remains the intrathecal morphine, with the use of regional analgesic techniques just as adjuvants or when intrathecal morphine is not available. The most recent studies have lack of statistical power to demonstrate if any of these techniques is superior to intrathecal morphine, so they remain like a powerful tool in the multimodal analgesic regimen.

Regional analgesia is a complementary technique to programs to improve recovery after Cesarean delivery, considerably reducing hospital stay, facilitating the integration of the mother-newborn pairing, and surely reducing the incidence of chronic post-Cesarean pain.
