Abstract

Ultrasound guided regional anesthesia techniques for biliary-hepatic, spleen, and pancreatic procedures depend on the type of the procedure (open versus laparoscopic procedure) and the type of the incision (Fig. 1). The choice of the regional anesthesia technique is multifactorial, but largely determined by the primary goal in perioperative analgesia (single shot vs. continuous infusion) and by the limitations to performing specific blocks for each individual case. This chapter will address these concerns and summarize the pros and cons of each technique.
