In modern surgery, there are a large number of different types of general anesthesia and local anesthesia. This most clearly indicates that there is still no such method of pain relief that could be completely satisfied.

Background/Objectives. Most patients that require port operation have experienced severe pain due to multiple surgeries in the past. Therefore, these patients have fear of pain before the procedure. This study aims to compare superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) with local infiltration anesthesia in terms of comfort. Methods. 100 cancer-diagnosed patients were divided into two groups. The first group, the landmark technique with local infiltration anesthesia, was used for intravenous entry (Group LM, n = 50). The second group, USG, was used for venous entry with SCPB as anesthesia (Group US, n = 50). The type of local anesthesia, port placement technique, duration of the procedure, number of procedures, complications, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and surgeon’s satisfaction with the procedure were recorded. Results. It was established that an average of 1.7 and 1.1 attempts was conducted in Groups LM and US, respectively (P = 0.010). VAS scores were found to be 4.04 in Group LM and 2.62 in GroupUS (P = 0.001). Surgeon satisfaction was 1.96 in GroupLM and 2.38 in GroupUS (P = 0.014). The mean duration of the procedure was 22.10 minutes in GroupLM and 43.50 minutes in GroupUS (P = 0.001). Complication rates were observed in 1 patient in GroupLM and 9 patient in GroupUS (P = 0.040). Conclusions. In the patient group with a high level of pain and anxiety port catheter placement using USG and SCPB, supported by routine sedation, provides better comfort for both patient and surgeon.

Background: Anesthetic management of severe post burn neck contracture is difficult, demanding due to fixed flexion deformity of neck, incomplete oral occlusion and insufficient mouth opening leading to difficulty in intubation. Patients undergoing contracture release, skin graft harvest under general anesthesia (GA) were compared with patients undergoing the same surgery under tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) technique. Methodology: Twenty-one patients with post burn neck contracture undergoing contracture release with split skin grafting under GA were compared with twenty-one patients undergoing the same surgery under TLA. Post-operative pain and satisfaction were assessed using 10 cm VAS (Visual Analogue Scale).  Results: Demographic profile was comparable in both groups. Changes in intra-operative vital parameters remained insignificant. The average volume of tumescent solution used was 254.76 + 49.05ml. Blood loss was significantly decreased, postoperative pain relief was more than sixteen hours in thirteen patients and extended beyond twenty-four hours in six patients in the TLA group. Time for the first rescue analgesia was significantly lesser in the GA group and the average dose of injection tramadol used in the GA group was significantly higher within the first 24 h. Overall satisfaction in the TLA group was significantly higher than in the GA group. Conclusion: TLA can be used as sole technique for release of post burn neck contracture and harvest of split skin grafts with less blood loss and significantly better postoperative pain relief avoiding complications of general anesthesia.

Tumors of the nasopharyngeal space (fibroids of the base of the skull) are still considered complex and difficult due to their position, the lack of pathways for access to them and severe bleeding during their removal. A number of methods have been proposed for deleting them with preliminary operations for accessing them. In this message I will not go into consideration and evaluation of all these methods, because they are well known. I will only point out that in the fight against bleeding, surgeons did not stop even before such a heroic measure as ligation of the carotid arteries. In addition to preliminary methods for stopping bleeding, some authors offer various methods for stopping bleeding at the time of the operation itself after cutting off the leg. Prof. Razumovsky simply suggests pressing the bleeding place with a finger, prof. Nikolsky recommends autotamponade of the tumor itself, etc. This shows how difficult it is to fight bleeding at the time of the operation itself.

Recently, there have appeared many works devoted to the postoperative disturbance of the alkaline-acid balance of the organism, denoted by acidosis. The authors put this condition in dependence on a number of reasons and, among other things, on the method of anesthesia.
