Review

Regional techniques for head and neck surgical procedures.

Regional anesthesia has evolved as an important tool for anesthesiologists and surgeons managing patients for surgery of the head and neck region. In recent years, ultrasound use has increased significantly, and newer nerve blocks have been established for surgeries of the head and regions. ⋯ Evolving practice strongly suggests that regional nerve blocks for the head and neck region are safe and effective. Future studies and education will likely evolve practice to make these regional techniques standards for future surgeries of the head and neck region.

AbstractRegional anesthesia has evolved as an important tool for anesthesiologists and surgeons managing patients for surgery of the head and neck region. In recent years, ultrasound use has increased significantly, and newer nerve blocks have been established for surgeries of the head and regions. In this review, anatomy, indications, efficacy, and potential side effects of regional anesthesia for the head and neck region are presented. Evolving practice strongly suggests that regional nerve blocks for the head and neck region are safe and effective. Future studies and education will likely evolve practice to make these regional techniques standards for future surgeries of the head and neck region.Published by Elsevier Ltd.
