    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Anesthesiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Regional anesthesia is a valuable technique for plastic surgeons performing head and neck procedures.
    • It offers patient comfort and convenience, particularly for shorter operations.
    • Regional anesthesia can provide advantages over general anesthesia in certain surgical contexts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide practical guidance on regional anesthesia techniques for the head and neck.
    • To outline effective methods for commonly used nerve blocks in this region.
    • To emphasize the importance of anatomical knowledge and consistent practice for successful outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Focuses on describing one or two successful methods for each common head and neck nerve block.
