- Abstract
Sciatic nerve block is a commonly used technique for providing anesthesia and analgesia to the lower extremity. At the parasacral level, the nerve block is classically performed via a posterior approach in lateral decubitus position causing patient's discomfort. Therefore, we aimed to conduct an anatomical study describing a new lateral approach to the parasacral sciatic nerve in supine position.
