Translated title:
Ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks of anterior and lateral abdominal wall
Summary:
Aim of the present study is to review current literature, in order to thoroughly record the newer methods in ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall. Abdominal wall peripheral nerve blocks are, currently, widely used not only for management of anaesthesia during operations, but for chronic pain treatment, also. The current trend is to substitude invasive analgesia/anaesthesia techniques with minimally invasive, but equally, effective ones. Performance of ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall is becoming very popular, due to three main reasons: minimally invasive surgery calls for proportionate anaesthesia adjustment, adaptation of ERAS programmes in order to achieve immediate postoperative patient mobilization and increasing involvement of surgical patients, under anticoagulants.
The most popular ultrasound guided nerve blocks of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall are: transversus abdominis nerve block, rectus sheath block, quadratus lumborum block, ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block and transversalis fascia plane block.
Application of ultrasound guided nerve blocks of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall is continuously increasing. The involvement of ultrasound makes peripheral nerve blocks easier, safer and with less complications, compared to past methods. Future research is obligatory, in order to specify the best peripheral nerve block for each type of abdominal operation.
