Abstract
A complete ablation was obtained for 16 of 18 lesions (88.9%), and a partial ablation was achieved for the remaining 2 lesions (central tumors). In terms of complications, there were five cases of pneumothorax (2 resolved spontaneously and 3 were drained through a coaxial needle), four middle pleura...

Abstract
During the initial 48 postoperative hours with continuous application of TCES-LC (D0-D1), a decrease of the epidural anesthetic dose requirement was observed for ropivacaine, and sufentanil (-25% and -60% respectively). A similar decrease in these medications was also measured on day 2 (D2), while T...

Abstract
The 4 groups were similar as to distribution of males and females and mean weight, age, and height. Blocking the saphenous nerve by way of the femoral nerve in the inguinal region was the most effective approach (success in 95% of patients), significantly better than the other 3 techniques (P < 0.05...
