Background: Pain is an unpleasant subjective sensation which can only be experienced and not expressed, especially in children. The primary reason to treat or prevent pain is humanitarian. Aim and objectives: To assess Ultrasound Guided Ilioinguinal / Iliohypogastric nerve block versus Caudal block for post-operative analgesia in children undergoing unilateral groin surgery in ASA grade I and I...

The contents of this review may appear odd. After a brief description of the coxofemoral joint, the entities discussed include ilioinguinal neuropathy within the context of the nerves that may be damaged during lower abdominal surgery, meralgia paresthetica, piriformis syndrome with the appropriate caveats, trochanteric syndrome, "ischial bursitis" and trochanteric syndrome caused by ischemia. ...

Ultrasound has emerged to become a commonly used modality in the performance of chronic pain interventions. It allows direct visualization of tissue structure while allowing real time guidance of needle placement and medication administration. Ultrasound is a relatively affordable imaging tool and does not subject the practitioner or patient to radiation exposure. This review focuses on the ana...

Despite recent advances in surgical technique for inguinal hernia repair, chronic groin pain following the surgical repair of an inguinal hernia is not uncommon. Injury to the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, or genitofemoral nerves is the most common etiology. Specific risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing chronic groin pain have been identified. Ultrasound-guided peripheral ne...

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare complication that occurs between the late stage of pregnancy and six months after delivery. PPCM presents as symptoms of left ventricular dysfunction and it can be fatal unless treated promptly. Furthermore, anesthesia and surgery in such patients is a large challenge to anesthesiologists. First and foremost, the maintenance of stable hemodynamics is a...

Anastomosis between the pubic rami of the inferior epigastric and the obturator arteries has been referred to as the corona mortis. Because anomalous vessels in the retropubic region are at risk in groin or pelvic surgeries, they have an importance not only for general surgery but also for orthopaedics. Because it is hard to distinguish these vessels, they can be injured during ilioinguinal inc...

INTRODUCTION Bipolar hip arthroplasty is a good option for treating femoral neck fractures, although some contraindications have been indicated. We report a case of intraoperative dislocation of the trial bipolar cup into the pelvis during bipolar hip arthroplasty. CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old woman underwent bipolar hip arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture (AO31-B2). She was placed in...
