The complications of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under cervical plexus blockade have yet to be fully evaluated. Two different cases are presented; both patients suffered sudden collapse following superficial and deep cervical plexus block in preparation for CEA. The causes, presenting signs and differential diagnoses are discussed. The safest cervical plexus anaesthetic block technique has not yet been established.

Therapeutic selective nerve root block in the nonsurgical treatment of atraumatic cervical spondylotic radicular pain: a retrospective analysis with independent clinical review.
To investigate the outcomes resulting from the use of fluoroscopically guided therapeutic selective nerve root block (SNRB) in the nonsurgical treatment of atraumatic cervical spondylotic radicular pain. ⋯ This study suggests that fluoroscopically guided therapeutic SNRB is a clinically effective intervention in the treatment of atraumatic cervical spondylotic radicular pain.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the advantages and feasibility of hemorrhoidectomy using regional anesthesia (posterior perineal block). ⋯ Posterior perineal block allows the surgeon to perform radical hemorrhoidectomies in an overnight-stay regimen with safe and effective intraoperative and postoperative analgesia, sphincter relaxation, and low incidence of urinary retention. Experience of the surgeon combined with careful surgical handling are of great importance for success in this technique.

Clinical Trial[Sciatic nerve block. Description of a new posterior approach in the gluteal area].
To describe and assess the clinical usefulness of a new posterior approach for sciatic nerve block to the gluteal zone. ⋯ We describe a new approach for sciatic nerve block using only two points of osseous reference identified by palpation. The level of efficacy and safety is high.
