Pectineal Block

The Pectineal Block is a regional nerve block technique used in surgery to reduce pain in the groin and thigh area. It involves injecting local anesthetic near a specific nerve, called the pectineal nerve, which supplies sensation to this region. By numbing this nerve, the technique helps manage postoperative pain effectively, often reducing the need for opioid medications. It is a targeted, safe, and effective method to improve patient comfort following procedures such as hernia repairs, allowing for quicker recovery and less discomfort during healing.
