Interfascial plane block: a new anesthetic technique

Abstract

Interfascial plane block (IFPB) is a new method of regional anesthesia [ 1 ]. IFPBs are usually performed under ultrasound guidance by injecting the local anesthetic into the interfascial space [ 2 ]. We analyzed the research data of IFPBs from 2002 to 2023. We found that studies on IFPBs have increased rapidly since 2016 (Fig. 1 ). IFPBs have been used to relieve chronic neuropathic pain and visceral pain and manage perioperative pain during trunk and limb surgeries [ 3 , 4 ].
