Published: August 1990

The paper compared three methods of local anaesthesia application used for taking dermoepidermal transplants. 1. Procaine injections: advantage: effectivity; disadvantage: lengthy procedure, uneven surface. 2. Freezing with Kelene: advantage: speed, no preparation needed, good effect; disadvantage: thicker grafts. 3. EMLA local application: advantage: effectiveness, simplicity; disadvantage: none This shows EMLA application as an optimum method. If anaesthesia without preparation needs to be applied quickly, it is advantageous to use Kelene. Undoubtedly, it is a question of the method of choice, standard usage as well as availability of the anaesthetic.

Female genital prolapse, especially apical prolapse, significantly affects women's health and quality of life. Sacrospinous hysteropexy is a widely used surgical procedure to address this condition, presenting few postoperative complications. However, one of the reported complications is neuropathic pain resulting from damage to the branches of the pudendal nerve.

Introduction: Many interventional strategies are commonly used to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP), though few are specifically intended to target the distinct underlying pathomechanisms causing low back pain. Restorative neurostimulation has been suggested as a specific treatment for mechanical CLBP resulting from multifidus dysfunction. In this randomized controlled trial, we report outcomes from a cohort of patients with CLBP associated with multifidus dysfunction treated with restorative neurostimulation compared to those randomized to a control group receiving optimal medical management (OMM) over 1 year.

Introduction: The brachial plexus block is one of the peripheral blocks, beneath which the majority of upper limb surgical procedures are carried out. During upper limb surgery, a supraclavicular nerve block is an excellent substitute for general anesthesia.

Aim: This is a clinical comparative study of dexmedetomidine, dexamethasone, and clonidine as adjuvants to local anesthetics in supraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Background: The use of intraoperative intra-articular morphine has been suggested to lower postoperative pain scores and opioid use. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-articular morphine with 0.75% ropivacaine when compared to the use of ropivacaine alone.
