Recent advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques have facilitated general anesthesia and surgical possibilities in the higher-risk patient group. Although general anesthesia is the only preferred approach for breast surgery, there have been many clinical trials about breast surgery that has been achieved with regional anesthesia techniques. It is known that regional anesthesia application decreases the preoperative stress, postoperative morbidity and mortality. ⋯ Regional anesthesia techniques like high thoracic epidural anesthesia, cervical epidural anesthesia and paravertebral block have been applied successfully in mastectomy operations. Combined thoracic epidural anesthesia-interscalene block technique may also be a good alternative to general or cervical, high thoracic epidural anesthesia. We aimed herein to present a case who underwent successful mastectomy and axillary dissection under combined thoracic epidural anesthesia-interscalene block.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of sufentanil added to low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine in unilateral spinal anaesthesia for outpatients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of sufentanil added to low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine in unilateral spinal anaesthesia for outpatients undergoing knee arthroscopy. ⋯ All patients were successfully given unilateral spinal anaesthesia with sufentanil added to low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine for an outpatient knee arthroscopy, without affecting the time of discharge. However, for one-day interventions such as arthroscopy, it was concluded that administration of only low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine was sufficient.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of the postoperative analgesic efficacy of an ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block versus 3 in 1 block in hip prosthesis surgery.
In this study, we aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficiency of an ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block and a 3 in 1 block in patients who underwent hip prosthesis surgery as a result of hip fracture. ⋯ We believe that the safe and efficient application of the ultrasound-guided 3 in 1 block and the FICB is necessary in multimodal analgesic treatment in order to enable postoperative analgesia in hip prosthesis surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Preemptive analgesic efficacy of dexketoprofen trometamol on impacted third molar surgery.
The aim of this study was to compare the pre-emptive analgesic efficacy of intravenous (IV) dexketoprofen trometamol (DT) and placebo, following impacted mandibular third molar surgery. ⋯ Preemptive use of IV DT is more effective than placebo for using as preemptive analgesia for acute postoperative pain control in patients underwent removal of an impacted mandibular third molar surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of intravenous dexketoprofen use on postoperative analgesic consumption in patients with lumbar disc surgery].
The objective of this study was to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of a preemptive, single-dose intravenous dexketoprofen administration in patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy. ⋯ Single-dose preemptive intravenous dexketoprofen provides effective analgesia especially in the first 8 postoperative hours, reducing tramadol use.
