Brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) is the most severe injury of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) involving the upper extremity [1]. Not only can it bring motor function loss of the affected limb, but also results in paresthesia of the innervation territory. Well-designed reconstruction surgical ...
The anatomy of the brachial plexus region is complex, with major structures such as nerves and blood vessels overlapping and crossing each other [1]. Compression of normal organs and neovascularization by brachial plexus tumors adds further complexity to this region, making the management of these t...
Ultrasound guidance enhances the efficiency of brachial plexus block and ameliorates the vascular injury compared with nerve stimulator guidance in hand surgery patients.

axillary brachial plexus block;regional anesthesia;upper limb surgery 1. Introduction Nowadays, surgery on the distal upper limb is generally performed in an ambulatory setting under regional anesthesia (RA), intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA), or local anesthesia [1,2]. ...
Obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) is a neurological and traumatic injury that occurs unpredictably and is unpreventable, commonly referred to as “shoulder dystocia”. It arises when the baby’s shoulders become impacted in the maternal pelvis, requiring additional maneuvers to complete the birth...
