The Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block is a novel regional anesthetic
technique that has been proven to be effective in providing anesthesia for a
variety of surgical procedures, postoperative analgesia as well as management
of acute and chronic pain. It can be performed either through a single
injection technique or catheter placement providing continuous infusion. It
has been shown effective for postoperative analgesia after total radical
mastectomy and thoracotomy. In this case report, we describe a successful
ESP continuous catheter inserted at the fourth thoracic transverse process
(T4) level for analgesia after chest wall mass excision and 5th rib costectomy.
