Due to the development and easy availability of ultrasonography devices, regional nerve blocks are routinely used by anesthesiologists among multimodal analgesia techniques. Interscalene and supraclavicular nerve blocks are the leading regional anesthesia techniques for shoulder surgeries. However, due to the phrenic nerve involvement and loss of motor function in the upper extremity in these block techniques, new nerve blocks have been developed and used for postoperative analgesia. One of the blocks that has been used increasingly in shoulder region surgeries and does not cause phrenic nerve involvement is the shoulder anterior capsule block (SHAC). The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of interscalene nerve block and SHAC block in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery.
