Perifascial plane versus perineural approaches for ultrasound-guided axillary block: go to the simplest?

CONCLUSIONS: We reported that the ultrasound-guided axillary perifascial block is easier to perform and saves procedural time compared to the classic perineural technique. Considering the same anesthetic success rate in both groups, the perifascial plane technique should be considered a daily practice technique and the first level of learning procedure for axillary block.
