Abstract
The ultrasound guided regional anesthesia has been established as an effective and safe technique with progressive usefulness in our setting. The high-quality regional anesthesia applied to rectus sheath block is an attractive alternative for specific procedures, with specific indications used in different contexts, mainly in outpatient pediatric anesthesia. This narrative review aims to assess deeply about anatomy, sonoanatomy and technique of rectus sheath block. We also discuss controversial positions and possible sources of future research.
