Local Block

Tourniquet cuff pain is a significant cause of morbidity following regional anaesthesia of the upper limb. We describe a simple new technique for effectively anaesthetizing the area under a pneumatic tourniquet (the “mini-Bier’s block”), which permits comfortable surgery under axillary block anaesthesia even if the local block is incomplete. We report a controlled study of 40 patients in whom statistically significant tourniquet cuff pain relief was obtained in patients receiving an additional low-dose intravenous injection of local anaesthetic localized beneath the cuff. This technique ensures that the safe axillary approach to the brachial plexus can always be used with avoidance of pain from the pressure of the tourniquet cuff.

A New Technique

Oronasal fistulas located in the central portion of the hard palate can be surgically repaired using a transposition flap of hard palate mucoperiosteum from tissue adjacent to the defect. The purpose of this report is to describe a new technique, the split palatal U-flap, for the surgical repair of large caudal hard palate defects in the dog and cat. A description of this new technique and case reports of a dog and a cat in which this technique was utilized to repair caudal hard palate defects are included.

Treatment Philosophy

Cartilaginous tumors of the larynx are uncommon, with approximately 250 having been reported in the literature. Only 28% of these were chondrosarcomas, and the remainder, chondromas. Cartilaginous tumors occur even more rarely in the trachea, with eight chondromas and four chondrosarcomas having been reported. A review of the literature with an outline of a reasonable treatment philosophy for these tumors is presented, as well as three case reports of chondrosarcoma of the larynx and one of chondroma of the trachea, which demonstrate common characteristics of these tumors. We also describe a new technique used on one of these patients in which an autologous rib cartilage graft and pyriform fossa mucosal flap are used to reconstruct the cricoid ring after resection of more than two thirds of its circumference, allowing decannulation and good voice postoperatively.
