Background: Interscalene block provides optimal shoulder surgery analgesia, but concerns
over its associated risks have prompted the search for alternatives. Suprascapular block was …

Background and Objectives This cadaveric study investigated the anatomic relationships of
the articular branches of the suprascapular (SN), axillary (AN), and lateral pectoral nerves …

Background Interscalene nerve blockade remains one of the most commonly used
anesthetic and analgesic approaches for shoulder surgery. The high incidence of …

Background The interscalene nerve block provides analgesia for shoulder surgery, but is
associated with diaphragm paralysis. One solution may be performing brachial plexus …

Background This randomized trial compared ultrasound-guided interscalene block (ISB) and
costoclavicular brachial plexus block (CCB) for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. We …

Background: Interscalene brachial plexus block, the pain relief standard for shoulder
surgery, is an invasive technique associated with important complications. The …

Although interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) remains the gold standard for analgesia
after shoulder surgery, the inherent risks of ipsilateral phrenic nerve block and …

Advances in ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia and introduction of newer long acting
local anaesthetics have given clinicians an opportunity to apply novel approaches to block …

Background This randomized trial aimed to evaluate combined infraclavicular-
suprascapular blocks (ICB-SSBs) as a diaphragm-sparing alternative to interscalene blocks …

Background and Objectives This randomized trial compared ultrasound (US)–guided
interscalene block (ISB) and small-volume supraclavicular block (SCB) for arthroscopic …
