Abstract

The efficacy of an ultrasound guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (QLB) for perioperative analgesia of the upper and lower abdomen remain debatable. The purpose of this study was to compare the cutaneous sensory blocked area (CSBA) between QLB blocks performed at the L2 vs. L4 levels.
