THE ANATOMY OF THE THORACIC WALL AT2

In this podcast I discuss the anatomy of the thoracic wall, its musculature and the intercostal space as well as approaches to the intercostal nerve and its blockade.

Next time we will consider thoracotomy approaches, the thoracic apertures, suprapleural membrane, diaphragm and its embryology (as well as the anatomy of congenital diaphragmatic hernia) and the relevant osteology (thoracic vertebrae, ribs, sternum).

and make a contribution. All gratefully acknowledged as it will help us to expand these podcasts over the next year. Vade mecum books (pocketbooks) are being produced of these podcasts and it is hoped that the first of these will be available towards the end of 2024.

See you on the next podcast
