Plexus Blocks

Plexus blocks are a type of regional anesthesia that numbs specific areas of the body, often used to relieve pain during and after surgeries. They work by injecting anesthetic near a cluster of nerves, known as a plexus, which send signals to the brain about sensation. This technique allows patients to experience less pain and often recover more comfortably, as it targets only the area where surgery or pain relief is needed, reducing the need for stronger general anesthesia or opioids. Doctors carefully choose the right plexus, depending on the surgery's location.
