Summary

Shoulder surgery is a source of intense postoperative pain that justifies the use of opioids. In this context, analgesia provided by locoregional anesthesia (ALR) improves the rehabilitation of patients by reducing the length of hospital stay and morphine consumption. Thus anesthesia of the brachial plexus interscalene (interscalene block or BIS) is considered as the reference technique for the management of post-operative pain after shoulder surgery. It is however provider of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis (PhD) in nearly 100% of cases. Thus, this technique is usually avoided in patients with respiratory insufficiency. In arthroscopic shoulder surgery, the development of a suprascapular and axillary nerve (SSAX) conjugate block appears to be an effective analgesic alternative in this context.
