Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new ultrasound-guided technique for blocking the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) called the "Gluteus-Deep Investing Fascia compartment Block" (GDIF block), which targets the space between the gluteus maximus muscle and deep investing fascia.
- Nineteen above-knee surgeries were performed on nine patients using the GDIF block as part of the Complete Lower Extremity Fascia Tri-compartment Block (CLEFT Block) without complications.
- Results indicate that the GDIF block effectively achieved complete PFCN blockade, allowing surgeries to proceed without the need for additional pain relief or conversion to general anesthesia.

Article Synopsis
- * Seven patients were treated using this nerve block method in district hospitals between May and December 2023, successfully completing their surgeries without complications or the need for general anesthesia.
- * The findings suggest that this combined technique is a safe option for high-risk surgical patients, although further research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm effectiveness.
