- Abstract
Nerve transfer surgery has emerged as a promising approach to restoring function in paralyzed muscles. The trapezius plane block (TPB) blocks the thoracic branches of the posterior primary rami, providing extended analgesia in nerve transfer surgeries. The case report describes the analgesia profiling of a young man who suffered a traumatic pan-brachial plexus injury and underwent a spinal accessory nerve to the suprascapular nerve transfer. TPB was utilized as a part of multimodal analgesia. TPB represents an advancement in regional anesthesia, providing extended analgesia and reducing opioid consumption. TPB can promote patient comfort and facilitate early mobilization.
