Observational Study[Total shoulder arthroplasty with interscalene block. Feasibility study].
General anesthesia is considered as the technique of choice for shoulder surgery, either alone or combined. We propose to show the feasibility of using guided interscalene block as the single anesthetic technique for total shoulder arthroplasty. ⋯ This type of surgery is feasible with interscalene block plus sedation; it is a safe and efficacious technique.
