Case Presentation
ASA1 44yo male patient operated for a scheduled arthroscopic acromioplasty with the rotator cuff repair (left upper limb).

For this sort of scheduled surgery we have the habit to propose to the patient a pure regional anesthesia solution combining, first an interscalene technique with a catheter insertion for postoperative analgesia, second a superficial cervial plexus block and third, a supra-scapular nerve block
