“…9-12 The administration of an ankle block in the ambulatory surgery setting is an essential step in providing appropriate pain management in the postoperative period. 1-4,7,13 Ankle blockade inhibits neural conduction from the surgical site to the spinal cord and is an established and successful form of MDA. 9,11 Clough et al 2 in a randomized controlled clinical trial found that adding foot block to general anesthesia for forefoot surgery yielded a significantly longer time to first perceived pain.…”

“…Peripheral regional anesthesia, a type of multimodal drug anesthesia (MDA), is performed in many ambulatory surgical settings to provide optimal pain control in the postoperative period. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In a survey of 5703 patients undergoing ambulatory surgery, procedures involving the foot and ankle were considered to be one of the most painful, with 55% of patients experiencing some degree of pain at home. 5 An ankle block is a type of peripheral regional anesthesia that is practical and successful in greater than 90% of surgical cases.…”

Background: Pain relief by different methods in elective hand and wrist surgery is pivotal for patients undergoing elective wrist and hand surgery. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and duration of peripheral nerve block versus local surgical site anesthetic infiltration among patients undergoing elective wrist and hand surgery. Subjects and methods: This study was carried out in the Orthopaedic Department of Duhok Emergency Teaching Hospital, Duhok, Kurdistan region, Iraq. All patients who attended the Orthopaedic Department (total number=496) for elective hand and wrist surgery between November 2021 and November 2022 were included in the study, but only 300 patients completed the study protocol after the exclusion of 196 patients. Three methods of nerve block were used for postoperative pain relief. The degree and duration of pain relief were assessed. Results: Patients who underwent ultrasound-guided nerve block had more duration of pain relief when compared to those patients who underwent local surgical site anesthetic infiltration and anatomical landmark nerve block (p<0.01), while patients who underwent local surgical site anesthetic infiltration had better pain relief when compared to those patients who underwent ultrasound-guided nerve block and anatomical landmark nerve block (p<0.01 for the group experiencing mild pain and p=0.12 for the group experiencing moderate pain and p<0.01 for the group experiencing severe pain). Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided nerve block is better for a longer duration of pain relief postoperatively than local surgical site anesthetic infiltration, while local surgical site anesthetic infiltration more effectively controls the severity of pain following elective hand and wrist surgery.
