Local anaesthesia may consist of a sensitive and a motor blockade. It is essentially used in human clinic for the sensitive blockade which is induced. All techniques or nearly are possible in regional anaesthesia for children if they are practised with discernment by a physician accustomed to the same techniques in adults. But caudal anaesthesia remains the most commonly performed and simple. The main advantages consist in abolition of intra- and postoperative pain, calm and comfort but also in a decrease of respiratory complications. There are two leading risks: infectious and especially toxic after an accidental injection of bupivacaine. These techniques should be systematically proposed but carefully carried out in all suffering children.

Background: Trunk reconstruction following sarcoma excision involves significant defects. Pedicled and free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMF) reconstruction is commonly employed for thoracic defects; however, skin paddle design is limited to 10-12 cm to achieve primary donor closure. Paucity of data exists regarding the utility of V-Y advancement of LDMF, previously described for moderately sized thoracic defects.

Locoregional anesthesia in patients with Brugada syndrome. A retrospective database analysis.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand

February 2025

Department of Anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, University Hospital of Brussels, Free University of Brussels, Brussels, Belgium.

Background: The use of local anesthetics (LA) in individuals with Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains a subject of debate due to the lack of large-scale studies confirming their potential risks. This study primarily aimed to evaluate the incidence of new malignant arrhythmias or defibrillation events in patients diagnosed with BrS during the perioperative period, following the administration of local anesthetics, and within 30 days postoperatively. The secondary objective was to analyze the occurrence of adverse effects during hospitalization, as well as 30-day readmission and mortality rates.

Objectives: To evaluate the pathological outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who were unsuitable for general anesthesia and underwent regional anesthesia in terms of their suitability for oncological surgery.

Methods: A total of 53 patients who underwent mesocolicormesorectal surgery under regional anesthesia at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey, between May 2019 and May 2023 were retrospectively examined. The negative margins of the proximal, distal, and circumferential margins of specimens, as well as the number of lymph nodes removed, were analyzed.

The management of postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergoing emergency surgical procedures, particularly in non-pediatric hospitals, presents significant challenges due to the unique physiological requirements of children. The utilization of opioid analgesia may result in severe complications, necessitating a transition toward multimodal analgesia, which integrates various pain management strategies to enhance effectiveness while mitigating adverse effects. Locoregional anesthesia techniques, such as fascial plane blocks, provide targeted pain alleviation, reducing dependence on opioids.
