Efficacy of adjuvant dexmedetomidine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block for intractable complex regional pain syndrome: A case report with a 3-year follow-up.

What Is Known And Objective: Pain management for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is challenging. When added to local anaesthetics, dexmedetomidine prolongs the duration of the block and improves analgesia. The effect of long-term dexmedetomidine use in the brachial plexus block (BPB) for CRPS is unknown.

Evaluation of the Intraoperative Perfusion Index for Correlation with Acute Postoperative Pain in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery.

Despite technical advancements in the perioperative management of cancer surgery, postoperative pain remains a significant clinical issue. We examined the diagnostic value of the intraoperative perfusion index for predicting acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. We retrospectively analyzed data for 105 patients who had undergone laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Severe lumbar radiculopathy with epidural venous plexus engorgement in a morbidly obese pediatric patient: A case report.

Introduction: Engorgement of the epidural venous plexus (EVP) is a rare cause of nerve root impingement. Dilated epidural veins cause compression of the thecal sac and spinal nerve roots, leading to lumbar radiculopathy.

Patient Concerns: Here we describe a case of severe lumbar radiculopathy in a 15-year-old morbidly obese boy.
