In recent years, with the continuous development and validation of new visualization, ultrasound-guided peripheral trunk block becomes more mature has a extensive broader implementation scope in clinical anesthesia. Based on this, we reviewed summarized literature nerve include: paraspinal block, retrolaminar plane erect spinal muscle, transverse convex to pleural midpoint trapezius muscle ante...

F ascia lata (FL) is a material that is abundant and safe to harvest and has multiple uses as a graft material. Its advantage in augmentation rhinoplas-ty is in creating a smooth, natural looking dorsum. 2 Many techniques have been described for FL harvest, which require endoscopes, strippers, or fasciotomes. 4 Other small incision techniques have been described, but the graft segment harvested...

In numerous studies of the analgesic effect of the so-called adductor canal block for total knee arthroplasty, the needle insertion point has been the midpoint of the thigh, determined as the midpoint between the anterior superior iliac spine and base of patella. "Adductor canal b...
