Popliteal sciatic nerve block versus intrathecal anesthesia for Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery: a mono-centric retrospective comparative study
Compared to intrathecal anesthesia, the use of popliteal sciatic nerve block (PSNB) in Achilles tendon repair surgery resulted in shorter anesthesia operation time, fewer immediate puncture complications, higher patient satisfaction with analgesia, and longer duration of analgesic effect. PSNB may be preferred for reduced complications and prolonged analgesia.
