Abstract

The field of locoregional anesthesia is showing good and promising results for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia, reducing opioid requirements and improving early postoperative recovery. Peripheral nerve blocks are being reinvigorated as a viable option to decrease the administration of opioids and some of the consequences of their use and yet provide high-quality analgesia. In this article, techniques to block the pelvic limb are discussed.
