AbstractInterscalene plexus block was performed in nine patients subjected to shoulder arthroscopy. The operating conditions, including muscle relaxation, were fully adequate in all patients (after additional local anaesthesia of the skin in four patients). With the exception of one patient who experienced temporary hoarseness (probably due to a concomitant block of the recurrent laryngeal nerve), no side effects were found and the patients tolerated the surgical procedure well. Interscalene block might be a suitable alternative to general anaesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy. However, additional local anaesthesia at the site where the arthroscope is to be inserted is frequently required.
