Ultrasound-guided Sciatic Nerve Block: Posterior Approach

The sciatic nerve blockade is routinely done for surgery and pain management of the lower extremity and is one of the commonly used techniques in our practice. When performed in a systematic manner, it is associated with a high success rate.1,2 It is particularly well suited for surgery on the knee, calf, ankle and foot. It provides complete anaesthesia of the leg below knee with the exception ...

Anterior Approach for Ultrasound-Guided Pudendal Block

A pudendal nerve block is a safe alternative to caudal anaesthesia to provide anaesthesia and/or analgesia for the perineum. It can be considered for a variety of clinical indications in general surgery, obstetrics, urology and chronic pain. The pudendal nerve block has evolved since its first description with respect to techniques (fluoroscopy, neurostimulation and ultrasound) and anatomic ref...

Feasibility of ultrasound-guided posterior approach for interscalene catheter placement during arthroscopic shoulder surgery

BACKGROUND Continuous interscalene block has been known to improve postoperative analgesia after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. This was a prospective study investigating the ultrasound-guided posterior approach for placement of an interscalene catheter, clinical efficacy and complications after placement of the catheter. METHODS Forty-two patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder su...
