The pathogenesis, as well as the results of treatment in 12 patients with neuralgia of the infraorbital nerve are discussed. Patients were treated by means of local anaesthetic nerve blocks, or when this was unsuccessful, by transcutaneous nerve stimulation and or tricyclic antidepressive drugs. In this way, the results were good in previously untreated patients, while they were moderate in patients in whom an attempt to treat with surgery had been carried out earlier. We recommend the use of local anaesthetic nerve blocks as treatment of the first choice.

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) should be performed using a less invasive procedure based on the patient's clinical condition, as many patients who undergo this procedure are elderly and have poor surgical tolerance. We report our experience and results of percutaneous EVAR under local anesthesia in order to practice minimally invasive EVAR at our hospital. In August 2019, we started percutaneous EVAR using Perclose ProGlide under local anesthesia.

This article introduces a surgical technique for cross-intrinsic transfers (CIT) to correct ulnar drift in rheumatoid hands performed under wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT). This approach allows real-time adjustment of tendon transfer tension and active patient participation in hand movements and deformity correction during the procedure. It can be combined with other surgeries such as prosthetic replacement arthroplasties of the MCP joints.
