Comparative Study[High continuous axillary-brachial plexus anesthesia. Comparison of a new method with perivascular axillary-brachial plexus anesthesia].
High axillary brachial plexus anaesthesia was performed in 25 patients. This technique employs simple, straight forward axillary access, and produces an infraclavicular brachial plexus block which is adequate for anaesthesia of the entire arm. The technique and the equipment required are described in the text and illustrated by the figures. ⋯ The only complication that occurred was an intravenous catheter placement, which was diagnosed and corrected. No other early or late complications were observed following the use of this technique in a large group of patients. This new technique is simple and easy to master.

An adductor contraction secondary to obturator nerve stimulation can occur during transurethral resection of a lateral bladder lesion and then can induce bladder perforation or hamper complete resection. Many technique have been advocated but they are ineffective or unreliable. Obturator nerve blockade in the obturator canal by local anesthesia with control by nerve stimulator can prevent these complications. The technique described, has been used in 12 patients it is reliable, fast and easy to perform.

Comparative Study
Ilioinguinal nerve block in children. A comparison with caudal block for intra and postoperative analgesia.
Fifty-two boys undergoing herniotomy, orchidopexy or ligation of patent processus vaginalis under general anaesthesia had supplementary analgesia; 26 had a caudal epidural block and 26 an ilioinguinal block. Analgesia was assessed both during and after surgery. Ilioinguinal block provides a useful alternative to caudal block.
