“…Lingual nerve neuropraxia after supraglottic airway instrumentation is one of the complication mentioned in the literature, and in light of this case report and other case reports in the literature highlighting this complication (Brimacombe et al 2005;Ueshima et al 2016), we recommend informing the patients during consent process about the possibility of this complication. We also recommend formulating local guidelines to arrange a pathway of dealing with postoperative tongue numbness after airway instrumentation for optimum patient care.…”

Background This is a case report of postoperative tongue numbness after a prolonged laparoscopic cholecystectomy using i-gel®. Case presentation A female patient 62 years old, ASA physical status II and with weight 72.7 kg, height 159 cm and BMI 28.8 kg/m2 had general anaesthesia using i-gel size 4 as artificial airway; vital data was stable and within normal range all through the surgery, the surgery was complicated due to the presence of intra-abdominal adhesions and the surgery was prolonged to 90 min With the insertion of surgical drains, she mentioned tongue numbness at the tip of the tongue on postoperative day 1, and this was completely resolved 4 weeks later on further follow-up. Conclusions We conclude that postoperative tongue numbness is one of the complications that should be highlighted after the i-gel®.

The incidence of breast cancer in women is on the rise, but the survival rate has increased due to the progress of medicine, especially if the disease is detected early. One of the imperatives is the patient's quality of life after treatment. Inadequately treated acute postoperative pain leads to a worse treatment outcome and the development of chronic pain. The incidence of chronic pain after surgical treatment of breast cancer is high and negatively affects the quality of life of patients in the long term. Serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a relatively new ultrasound-guided regional analgesia technique. SAPB represents an alternative to an epidural, and to paravertebral and intercostal blocks. This review aims to describe serratus anterior plane block for breast surgery and emphasize their short-and long-term benefit. For this review, we searched MEDLINE in November 2022 to identify metanalyses, randomized controlled trial systemic reviews, and reviews published in the last five years. The search for metanalyses yielded 4 results; 12 results were found for randomized controlled trials; 5 results for reviews; and 4 results for systematic reviews. When employing SAPB in patients after mastectomy, good analgesia is achieved in the early postoperative period and the incidence of chronic pain is reduced, thus improving quality of life.
