BLOQUEO DEL CANAL DE LOS ADUCTORES: TODO LO QUE DEBES SABER.

The adductor canal block, or saphenous nerve block, is an effective technique for anesthetizing the inner leg during minor surgical procedures or for postoperative pain control. It is performed using ultrasound, locating the saphenous nerve near the femoral artery. A needle is used to inject local anesthetic around the nerve, ensuring its proper distribution. Complications are rare but can include hematomas, infections, or accidental intravascular injections. Using ultrasound significantly reduces these risks, providing a safe and precise block.
