Abstract:
Local and regional block provides an effective means for the control of postoperative pain. In surgery involving the trunk, it serves as a useful alternative to epidural analgesia. With the increasing use of low molecular weight heparin, the use of peripheral nerve block is increasingly popular for patients undergoing lower limb surgery.
