Abstract

(J Clin Anesth. 2018;48:13–14. Doi:10.1016/j.jclinane.2018.04.006) Adequate analgesia after cesarean section (CS) requires sensorial blockade of the subcostal (T12), ilioinguinal (L1), and iliohypogastric (T12-L1) nerves’ cutaneous branches. However, the posterior transversus abdominis plane block, commonly used for CS, may not affect the T12 and L1 cutaneous branches. Therefore, in this study, the authors reported the first effective use of the transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) in 2 patients, which should provide blockade of the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves.
