More Information
Summary:When the cases of the present study were evaluated, it was observed that a significant reduction was achieved in VAS scores, no neurovascular damage was detected at the 6-month follow-ups, it could be easily performed by a single physician, and patient-physician satisfaction was very good. Given pain management, side effects, complications, ease of application, success rate, single injection, and discharge times, it is considered that SCUGNB may be superior to HB which is recognized as a favored technique currently.
