Groin pain of neurological origin as a differential diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement.

Background: To describe the experience in the diagnostic process and treatment of patients with groin pain (GP) of neurological origin due to entrapment of the iliohypogastric (IH), ilioinguinal (IL) and genitofemoral (GF) nerves in a hip preservation clinic.

Methods: Retrospective study of patients with GP of neurological origin confirmed with ultrasound-guided nerve block. Clinical outcomes were reported in 21 cases (age, 53.

[Cellular immune response to 3 anesthetic techniques for simple abdominal hysterectomy].

Background And Objective: The effect of surgery and anesthesia on the immune response may have a significant effect on perioperative tumor surveillance. The aim of this study was to characterize the cellular immune response of patients undergoing simple abdominal hysterectomy under 3 types of anesthesia.

Patients And Methods: ASA 1-2 patients undergoing simple abdominal hysterectomy were enrolled prospectively after they gave informed consent; the patients were randomized to 3 groups of 20 each to receive balanced anesthesia (group A), remifentanil-based anesthesia and analgesia (group B), or combined general-epidural anesthesia (group C).
