BackgroundUltrasound guided nerve block has become popular in pediatric practice. We applied this technique to infants undergoing pyloromyotomy.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the hospital records of infants who underwent pyloromyotomy with the aid of the ultrasound guided nerve block from July 2010 to March 2011.ResultsRectus sheath block was performed in 4 infants. In one infant ilioinguinal/hypogastric nerve block was also placed for simultaneous repair of inguinal hernia. There were no complications attributable to the ultrasound guided nerve block.ConclusionsWe performed ultrasound guided nerve block safely in infants undergoing pyloromyotomy.
