Peripheral Nerve Surgery Anesthesia

Peripheral nerve surgery anesthesia refers to the techniques used to manage pain and ensure patient comfort during surgical procedures on peripheral nerves, which are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. In neuroanesthesia, this involves carefully delivering anesthesia to block sensation in specific areas of the body, allowing the surgeon to operate while minimizing discomfort for the patient. Anesthesiologists monitor vital signs and ensure the patient remains relaxed and pain-free throughout the surgery, often using regional anesthesia techniques such as nerve blocks, which target the nerves directly, rather than general anesthesia.
