Pain Management With Bilateral Continuous Thoracic Paravertebral Block in a Patient With Fontan-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing Hepatectomy.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The posterior lumbar plexus block (LPB) has been used for decades to provide acute pain management after hip surgery. Unfamiliarity with the technique and its perceived difficulty, potential risks, and possible adverse effects such as quadriceps weakness have limited broader use. The quadratus lumborum blo...
