    Abstract Continuous peripheral nerve block, also known as "local anesthetic perineural infusion," refers to percutaneous placement of a catheter near a peripheral nerve or plexus followed by administration of a local anesthetic through a catheter to provide anesthesia, or analgesia for several days, in some cases even for a month. This report describes the case of a 7 year old boy with left elbow contracture with limited flexion and extension who was admitted to the Clinic of Pediatric Surgery for redressment of the elbow and physical therapy. An ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block was performed, with placement of a non-tunneled perineural catheter. Redressment of the left elbow was performed twice and before each redressment boluses of local anesthetic were applied through the perineural catheter. Physical therapy was performed painlessly with continuous perineural infusion. On the 5th day of catheter placement, the perineural catheter was removed without any prior complications such as hematoma, infection, catheter dislocation or leakage of local anesthetic. Our goal is to minimize the psychological and physical trauma to the patient, no matter how immature the patient is. Continuous regional anesthesia in children is a safe technique in postoperative pain management that facilitates early mobilization due to its sufficient analgesia and better comfort. It can provide in-home treatment, with adequate education for patients and parents, and improve rehabilitation in children.

    Left - sided gallbladder, located medial ly t o the falciform ligament, between segment III and IV of the liver, has complex embryological development explained by two different concepts: one founded upon f o etal migration of the gallbladder ; and the other founded upon complex f o etal evolution of intrahepatic anatomy. 57 - year - old male was admitted for elective cholecystectomy, and , after pneumoperitoneum was established , a true left - sided gallbladder was identified. The patient wa s positioned in normal position and ports were placed on typical sites. After diligent dissection, cystic artery and duct were clipped as close as possible to gallbladder and dissected. During standard dissection in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, special at tention was dedicated to obtaining posterior critical view of safety, providing adequate exposition of structures of Calot’s triangle. Posterior critical view of safety in left - sided gallbladder exposes cardinal structures of hepatic hilus. Although, duri ng laparoscopy , difficult anatomy is met and there is high probability of bile duct injury, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the recommended procedure of choice for left - sided gallbladder.
