Abstract
Continuous interscalene nerve blockade (CISNB) has been shown to reduce postoperative pain and morphine usage after a wide range of shoulder operations (1&2). Recent trends to minimally invasive shoulder surgery are expected to be associated with shorter postoperative stays. This study compared the length of stay using CISNB as the primary postoperative analgesia with other forms of analgesia and measured the time from end of surgery to discharge.
