[Regional anesthesia of the sciatic nerve with anterior approach in children: new landmarks].
The purpose of the case study was to evaluate new landmarks for the needle insertion in sciatic nerve block made through the anterior approach. We identified, by X-Ray, new simplified bone landmarks and suggested that the skin should be marked in order to find the puncture site. ⋯ The former ensures the regional anesthesia of the lower limbs in all trauma cases; besides, it cuts the block implementation time. The rate of complications and the duration of postoperative analgesia are not dependent on a selected approach.

Peripheral nerve block for ambulatory surgery and postoperative analgesia.
With this article we intend to increase the awareness of the efficiency and efficacy of peripheral nerve block as a treatment option for outpatient surgical anesthesia and postoperative home-based analgesia. ⋯ The recent advances and techniques described indicate that peripheral nerve block is both a valid and frequently a preferred option for ambulatory surgery.
