    A novel lateral thigh approach simplifies sciatic nerve blocks. This safe and effective technique is easy to learn and remember, improving local anesthesia procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Current methods for sciatic nerve block are technically challenging.
    • There is a need for simpler and more accessible nerve block procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new, simplified technique for performing a sciatic nerve block.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this novel approach.

    Main Methods:

    • The technique involves a lateral thigh approach with the patient in a supine position.
    • Sciatic nerve identification is achieved using anatomical landmarks and a nerve stimulator.
    • The procedure was performed on over 100 patients.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique proved to be safe and effective in clinical application.
