Lumbar Plexus Block

A lumbar plexus block is a medical procedure where anesthetic medicine is injected near the nerves in the lower back region. This numbs the nerves that provide sensation and movement to the front of the thigh, inner thigh, and parts of the pelvis. It is often used to help manage pain during or after surgeries like hip or thigh procedures. The goal is to provide effective pain relief while minimizing the use of stronger pain medications, improving patient comfort and recovery. The procedure is performed by a trained healthcare provider, typically with ultrasound guidance to target the nerves accurately.
