[Blockade of the obturator nerve in transurethral electroresection of urinary bladder tumors].
Stimulation of obturator nerve during transurethral electroresection causes violent adductor muscle contraction, and is a major cause of inadvertent bladder perforation. General anesthesia with muscle relaxants is often required when the bladder tumor is in the area where the obturator nerve passes in close proximity to the inferolateral bladder wall. ⋯ We herein describe the technique and results of local obturator nerve blockade. Use of neutracer and pole needle makes the obturator nerve block a completely reliable, safe and easy procedure.

A case of respiratory failure following postoperative intercostal nerve blockade is described. A possible mechanism is postulated and the evidence in favour of intercostal blockade in patients with chronic airways disease is questioned. The need for caution when managing such patients with regional blockade is emphasised.

[The popliteo-femoral block, a rarely used form of regional anesthesia. With special reference to the use of peripheral nerve stimulators].
Blockade of the sciatic nerve in the fossa poplitea is a rarely used form of regional anaesthesia. A new method of identification of the tibial and peroneal nerve and their blockade in combination with blockade of the femoral nerve using a peripheral nerve stimulator, is described. Results in 300 patients during a 12 month period are described and discussed.
