Abstract

In children, elective surgery is often performed in the trunk region. Regional anaesthetic techniques allow good analgesia with reduced opioid consumption, and enhance rapid discharge of the small patients. This review focuses on indication, anatomic structures, puncture techniques and potential complications of caudal anaesthesia, transversus abdominis plane block, ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block and rectus sheath block.
