Why is it important?
Methods: This prospective study compared patients' preference and peri-operative outcomes in supine position via medial approach to the sciatic nerve and lateral position via lateral approach to the nerve. Prospective registration of this study with NHG Human Research Protection Programme was on 9 Sept 2021. Institutional review board approval was obtained for this study on 20 May 2022. All research participants provided written informed consent with the first patient enrolled on 05 June 2022.
Perspectives
There is no existing literature comparing medial approach using our proposed novel convenient supine position versus lateral approach in lateral position regarding patient's comfort and secondary outcomes. What is new?
