Abstract | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: METHOD: RESULTS: There was no difference between both groups regarding demographic and clinical- surgical variables. There was no difference between groups regarding pain intensity. Mean pain scores were higher at 12 hours in GA and there was no change in GB; 55.6% of patients reported moderate pain in GA and 53.8% mild pain in GB. There was no difference regarding tramadol request. There were no serious adverse events: 80.8% of patients in GB had motor block of the thigh and two fell. CONCLUSIONS:
Analgesia was more effective with the combination of spinal and FNB, which allowed better control of postoperative pain, assessed 12 hours after anesthesia. There was no difference in tramadol request. Patients in this study had no serious adverse events; however, one must be attentive to motor paralysis and the possibility of falling when FNB is performed.
