Local and regional block in postoperative pain control

P W Peng et al. Surg Clin North Am. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

Local and regional block provides an effective means for the control of postoperative pain. In surgery involving the trunk, it serves as a useful alternative to epidural analgesia. With the increasing use of low molecular weight heparin, the use of peripheral nerve block is increasingly popular for patients undergoing lower limb surgery.
