    Some of the nerve blocks that work by affecting the femoral nerve are the femoral nerve block, the fascia iliac block and the 3-in-1 nerve block. Femoral nerve blocks are very effective. [3] During pelvic surgery and abdominal surgery, the femoral nerve must be identified early on to protect it from iatrogenic nerve injury. [4] The femoral ...

    A vestibular neurectomy is an operation that severs the vestibular nerve, which contributes to balance, while sparing the cochlear nerve, which contributes to hearing. The procedure has the potential to relieve vertigo, but may preserve the ability to hear. [7] It is important to note that this procedure will not reverse the effects of deafness.

    The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a purely sensory nerve, [3] [2] and consequently the symptoms are also sensory. [4] Symptoms are typically unilateral, seen in about 78% of cases, but may be bilateral. [4] [2] The most common symptom is pain, paresthesias, or dysthesias on the anterolateral surface of the thigh that extends just ...

    Advantages of this block include rapid blockade of the shoulder region, and relatively easily palpable anatomical landmarks. Disadvantages of this block include inadequate anesthesia in the distribution of the ulnar nerve, which makes this an unreliable block for operations involving the forearm and hand. [2] Side effects
