Malfunction of a catheter placed for continuous quadratus lumborum plane block: rent in the thoracolumbar fascia
Keywords:
Complications, Regional Anesthesia, Retroperitoneal surgeryAbstract
Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum plane block is an effective measure of analgesia perioperatively in abdominal and retroperitoneal surgeries. There are limited reported complications related to the procedure. We report a nonperforming continuous quadratus lumborum plane block possibly due to a suspected rent in thoracolumbar fascia in a retroperitoneal surgery.
