Background And Objectives: Hypograstric plexus block has been considered a safe and effective alternative for treat patients with chronic pelvic pain. Published studies available at MedLine on the subject were included and evaluated in this review.
Contents: Some studies have documented superior hypogastric plexus block effectiveness in relieving pain and decreasing opioid consumption, mainly in cancer patients. However, studies had failures in method or design.
Conclusions: New prospective and better-designed studies are still needed to confirm the effectiveness of hypogastric plexus block in relieving pelvic pain. These studies shall have stricter inclusion criteria, longer follow-up, and evaluation of other symptoms and quality of life before and after the procedure. Superior hypogastric plexus block should be recommended as alternative and not as primary therapy.

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: It is very well known that the supraclavicular nerve (SCN) which occupies the inferior part of the superficial cervical plexus basically originates from the ventral rami of C2-C4, then travels caudally into the investing layer of the deep cervical fascia (IL-DCF) alternatively termed the "prevertebral fascia."
Methods: This cadaveric study (a total of 6 soft-embalmed cadavers and bilateral dissections, i.e.
