The parasacral sciatic nerve block†
Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 1996Background and Objectives The clinical utility of a new parasacral approach for conduction block of the sciatic nerve was investigated, with critical examination of onset, extent, and success rates when this block was used for surgical procedures below the knee ...

Reevaluation of the Sciatic Nerve Block
Regional Anesthesia: The Journal of Neural Blockade in Obstetrics, Surgery, & Pain Control, 1993Background and Objectives. Sciatic nerve blocks are perceived as unreliable, technically demanding, and uncomfortable. With strict criteria to define success rates, we designed a study to examine the efficacy of two techniques of sciatic nerve block. Methods.

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1985
The currently available methods for local anaesthetic block of the sciatic nerve are difficult to perform. Here we describe a new and easier technique for the block. The sciatic nerve is approached from the lateral side of the thigh with the patient lying supine and is identified by simple anatomical landmarks with the help of a nerve stimulator.

SCIATIC AND FEMORAL NERVE BLOCK
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1952One of the most useful yet most neglected anesthetic procedures is the combination of sciatic and femoral nerve block. The physician who treats a large number of diabetics or patients with minor or major accidental injuries of the legs will find this block most useful. The technique of a satisfactory sciatic-femoral nerve block is simple to master, and

Sciatic nerve blocks are infrequently performed by anesthesiologists. These blocks are considered to be more difficult, and they require the use of long needles, causing apprehension to both the patient and the anesthesiologist. However, the use of nerve stimulators significantly facilitates the approach of the sciatic nerve.

Ultrasound imaging for popliteal sciatic nerve block
Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2004Ultrasound is a novel method of nerve localization but its use for lower extremity blocks appears limited with only reports for femoral 3-in-1 blocks. We report a case series of popliteal sciatic nerve blocks using ultrasound guidance to illustrate the clinical usefulness of this technology.The sciatic nerve was localized in the popliteal fossa by ...

The Sciatic Nerve and Knee Arthroplasty
Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2011T ricompartment (total) knee arthroplasty (TKA) consistently results in severe postoperative pain. Although providing a femoral nerve block dramatically improves analgesia, 80% to 90% of patients still experience pain requiring treatment with intravenous opioids in the immediate postoperative period.2,3 This pain is usually attributed to the sciatic ...

Abstract In combination with a lumbar plexus, femoral, or saphenous nerve block, sciatic nerve blocks provide complete anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for lower-extremity surgery. Contrary to common belief, sciatic nerve blocks are relatively simple to perform and master. However, the deep location of the sciatic nerve mandates proper training

Sciatic nerve block for children
Anaesthesia, 1985Summary This study aimed to establish whether it was practical to perform sciatic nerve block by the anterior approach in a group of children of different ages and weights. A total of 82 blocks were performed of which 78 (95.2%) were judged to have been successful.

Sciatic nerve blocks were seldom used until recently. They apply to most surgical procedures on the lower limb and are often combined with a "3 in 1" block. However they can be used alone for foot surgery or postoperative analgesia. Nerve stimulators make their realization easier and more reliable.
