The usual technique of parasacral sciatic nerve block seems an approach easily achieved, however, the ischial tuberosity is difficult to palpate. [1] The purpose of the study was to propose new skin landmarks improved by an anatomical and clinical study. ⋯ Access to the sciatic foramen appears to be facilitated by these new surface landmarks, which are simple and reliable. Our new skin landmarks seemed valid for all morphotypes.

Meta Analysis[Ondansetron: a meta-analysis on its efficacy to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting after craniotomy in adults and children].
To justify the use of ondansetron as a preventive treatment for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) of adults and children in neurosurgery. ⋯ Peroperative intravenous dose of ondansetron 4 mg in neurosurgery in adults is required to prevent PONV during the first postoperative 24 hours. However, further studies are needed to determine best time and dose infusion to prolong clinical efficacy.
