The Retro Superior Costotransverse Ligament Space as a New Target for Ultrasound-Guided Intertransverse Process Block: A Report of 2 Cases

This report describes a transverse ultrasound imaging technique to identify the retro-SCTL space and perform an ITPB with a retro-SCTL space injection, in 2 patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The resultant bilateral, symmetrical, thoracolumbar anesthesia was consistent with epidural spread of the LA and effective for perioperative analgesia.
