SummaryTumescent anaesthesia is a widley accepted anaesthetic procedure for the surgery of varicous veins. In our institution tumescent anaesthesia is regularly combined with femoral nerve block or sciatic nerve block for primary operations of the great saphenous vein (GSV) or small saphenous vein (SSV).This combined procedure is described. Retrospective data of 154 operations of the GSV and of 27 operations of the SSV are presented. We used 9.5 mg/kg body weight of prilocain for operations of the GSV and 8.6 mg/kg body weight for operations of the SSV. No serious complications occurred.

Objective Results of a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study about tumescent anaesthesia (TA) in combination with femoral nerve block (FNB) for surgery of varicose veins are reported. The aim is to compare two different concentrations of prilocaine in TA. Method With approval of the ethical committee and informed consent, FNB (nerve stimulation, 20 mL prilocaine 0.75%) was performed followed by TA using prilocaine 0.1% versus 0.2% (groups P0.1 and P0.2). Further medication was standardized. Overall amount of prilocaine was recorded, plasma levels of 20 patients measured regularly. Side-effects, patient satisfaction and pain scores were compared ( P < 0.05). Results Ninety patients were included. In one patient (P0.1), general anaesthesia was necessary. There was no difference in pain scores, need for rescue medication or patient satisfaction. More prilocaine was administered in P0.2 ( P < 0.0001) with higher but far below toxic plasma levels. In three patients (P0.2) mild met-haemoglobinaemia was confirmed. Conclusion TA with prilocaine 0.1% in combination with FNB is sufficient to provide high patient satisfaction during varicosis surgery.

Introduction: Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) and Adductor Canal Block (ACB) methods, which are regional analgesic techniques, are successfully used in postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty. This study aimed to compare adductor canal block method that was preoperatively used and femoral nerve block method in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients who underwent spinal anesthesia in terms of factors effecting patient satisfaction and determine whether these methods were equally effective or not. Methods: A total of 80 patients between the ages of 60 and 75 who were in the American Society of Anesthesia (ASA) physical status of I-III were prospectively included in this randomized study. Patients (n = 40) who received FNB were called Group FNB and patients (n = 40) who received Adductor Canal Block were called Group ACB. Results: Although mean postoperative VAS values were lower in FNB group only in the first hour (p = 0.02) there was no significant difference between the groups in the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, 12th and 24th hours (p≥0.05). Although Bromage scores were lower in FNB group in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth hours there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p≥0.05). When mobilization time, patient satisfaction level, time of first analgesia, intraoperative sedation need, and recovery time of sensorial block were compared no statistically significant difference was found (p≥0.05). Discussion: When ACB and FNB that are used for postoperative analgesia in patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty are compared in terms of factors affecting patient satisfaction it is observed that they result in the same level (non-inferiority) of patient satisfaction. Conclusion: We recommend the routine use of ACB method with FNB in total knee arthroplasty. More studies focusing especially on measuring patient satisfaction are needed.
