Kulak cerrahisinde yüzeyel servikal pleksus bloğu: Olgu sunumu

Elli dokuz yaşındaki erkek hastanın kulak operasyonu için yüzeyel servikal pleksus bloğu uygulanması ile ilgili tecrübemizi paylaşmayı hedefledik. Yüzeyel servikal pleksus anterolateral boyun, kulak ve omuzun yüzeysel yapılarının duyusal innervasyonunu sağlar. Ultrason kılavuzluğunda yapılan servikal pleksus bloğu kulak cerrahisinde hem anestezi hem de analjezi amacı ile uygulanabilecek alternatif bir yöntem olabilir.

Superficial cervical plexus block in ear surgery: A case report

The aim of this study was to share our experience with the application of a superficial cervical plexus block in the ear operation of a 59-year-old male patient. The superficial cervical plexus provides sensory innervation of the superficial structures of the anterolateral neck, ear, and shoulder. Ultrasound-guided cervical plexus block may be an alternative method for both anesthesia and analgesia in ear surgery.
