    AbstractProlonged acute postsurgical pain (PAPSP) contributes to the development of chronic postsurgical pain, impaired rehabilitation, longer hospital stays, and decreased quality of life. For upper extremity analgesia, the duration of postoperative pain management with continuous brachial plexus peripheral nerve blocks is limited due to the risk of infection. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis provides extended analgesia and avoids the risks and inconveniences of indwelling catheters. We present 2 cases of PAPSP of the forearm effectively managed by the use of ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis to treat the medial, lateral, and posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerves.Copyright © 2024 International Anesthesia Research Society.
