Abstract


Since its first description by Philippe WH Peng in 2018, the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block, a novel regional anesthetic procedure, has been gaining in popularity. In order to provide appropriate analgesia, an ultrasound-guided local anesthetic injection around the hip joint is performed.

We presented, in this case, the successful management of the PENG block for surgical anesthesia in the excision of a malignant soft tissue tumor in the proximal tibia of a 73-year-old female patient. Adequate sensory and motor blocks were obtained, allowing a 70-minute surgery without using additional analgesics. Postoperative pain scores were low, and the patient was discharged without complications.
