Useful Points of Geometry and Topography of the Lumbar Triangle for Transversus Abdominis Plane Block.

Background: A new look at the topography of the lumbar triangle becomes a challenge for modern anesthesia. The aim of this study was to redefine the topography of the lumbar triangle for transverse abdominis plane block.

Material And Methods: We explored 74 lumbar regions in 37 preserved cadavers (17 F and 20 M).

[Transverse abdominal plane - anatomical and clinical aspects].

In medicine spectacular progress can be observed at many stages, which sometimes requires the redefinition of already known anatomical structures. One of them is the transverse abdominal plane, which was the focus of anaesthetists. It was observed that anaesthetics introduced locally into this plane have similar power to a traditional epidural procedure or spinal anaesthesia.
