Popliteal Sciatic nerve block
Patients schedule for lower limb surgery under regional anesthesia will receive ultrasound guided subparaneural popliteal sciatic nerve block. After identification of the common peroneal nerve and tibial nerve, local anesthetic agents will be injected close to each nerve below the point of divergence at the popliteal fossa. The spread of the drug and the sensory and motor function of that limb will be assessed regularly till it is ready for surgery.
