AbstractThe authors describe a strangulated umbilical hernia surgery performed in emergency with a paraumbilical block associated with a local infiltration. For this patient, 3-4 ASA status, in occlusion, with iterative vomiting and coagulation disorders, general or spinal anaesthesia were high-risk technics. Paraumbilical block, sometimes used for anaesthesia or/and analgesia for programmed umbilical hernia surgery, allowed surgery with good conditions and procured prolonged postoperative analgesia. This block, easy to perform, is an interesting alternative in emergency for general or spinal anaesthesia in high-risk patients.
