Chapter 21 Digital Nerve Blocks (Finger and Toe Blocks) R Dayananda Babu Anatomy There are four digital nerves for each finger/toe including the thumb and great toe (Fig 21.1) The palmar digital nerves have the most extensive sensory distribution (Fig 21.2) They are responsible for the distal finger and Fig 21.1: Section of digit showing the dorsal and palmar digital nerves Digital Nerve Blocks (Finger and Toe Blocks) Fig 21.2: Sensory innervations of the dorsal and palmar view fingertips sensation including the nail bed Although the dorsal nerves have a lesser distribution, there is sufficient overlap with the palmar nerves All four branches on each finger/toe must be blocked to achieve complete digital anesthesia The digital nerves are immediately adjacent to the phalanges and these structures act as landmarks for locating the nerves Indications For suturing of the wounds distal to the level of the midproximal phalanx/ toe For removal of nail For paronychia drainage For pulp abscess drainage For repair of lacerations of the digits Techniques for Digital Nerve Block For the procedure, 1% lignocaine without adrenaline is recommented Usually mL of the solution is used Small needle of sizes 24 to 28 gauge are used for injection Two needle pricks are used to block the nerves on either side The needle is introduced into the dorsolateral aspect of the proximal phalanx in the web space just distal to the metacarpophalangeal joint The dorsal digital nerve is approached first followed by redirecting the needle to the palmar nerve Approximately 0.5 mL of the anesthetic is delivered to the dorsal digital now The needle is then withdrawn and redirected adjacent to the bone of the phalanx to the volar surface of the digit and mL of the solution is deposited at the site of the palmar nerve The procedure is repeated on the other side of the digit to achieve full finger/toe anesthesia (Fig 21.3) 105 106 Surgical Handicraft Fig 21.3: Performing digital nerve block in hand and toe The deposition of local anesthetic into the web space prevents excessive buildup of pressure on the digital nerves and blood vessels The needle is advanced in such a way that it touches the bone Maintaining close proximity of the needle to the bone at all times will ensure good blockade because the course of the nerve is adjacent to the bone A complete blockade is usually achieved within to minutes Chapter 22 Minor Surgical Procedures of Subcutaneous Swellings R Dayananda Babu Lymph Node Biopsy, Excision of Cystic Swellings and Lipoma under Local Anesthesia Lymph Node Biopsy In general terms, lymph nodes in the neck, supraclavicular fossa, axilla or groin should be biopsied under a general anesthesia However, if they are very easily defined and the doctor is experienced, superficial lymph nodes may be excised using local anesthetic infiltration In generalized lymphadenopathy, it is preferable to take a neck node rather than axillary or inguinal node If inguinal and axillary nodes are enlarged, it is preferable to take axillary rather than the inguinal (inguinal lymph nodes are enlarged in bare-footed persons, and therefore, may not be significant) Steps of Lymph Node Biopsy of Neck Position of the patient—small sand bag behind shoulders with a head ring for support and head tilted to contralateral side Skin antiseptic preparation and draping of the area Infiltration of local anesthetic agent/general anesthesia The incision should be made in the line of the skin crease over the swelling and should be at least twice the size of the node to be biopsied to ensure that the whole dissection is carried out under direct vision The fat and superficial fascia should be incised in the line of the wound and the lymph node or group of nodes exposed using blunt dissection If necessary, a small self-retaining retractor may be used to aid the dissection The tissue that tethers the deep surface of the node will contain small blood vessels and lymphatic channels, and therefore, an artery clip is placed across this pedicle, which is then ligated and divided, leaving the clip attached to the specimen (it may be adherent to the major vein like internal jugular vein) 108 Surgical Handicraft The capsule of the node should not be grasped, since this may distort the histological features It is preferable to take a lymph node intact, rather than a part of the lymph node If tuberculosis is suspected it is better to take two nodes, one for the pathology and for microbiology department The specimen for the microbiology is sent in saline bottle and for the pathology department, the specimen is sent in formalin 10 The wound is closed with subcutaneous absorbable sutures and 3/0 nylon to the skin Note: Remember most of the lymph nodes of the neck are deep to the deep fascia, and therefore, one has to open the deep fascia Lymph nodes are distributed along the veins, and therefore, it is important to avoid injury to the internal jugular vein, if it is located near to the vein While doing posterior triangular lymph node biopsy, one should take care of the spinal accessory nerve Excision of Sebaceous Cyst and Other Cystic Swellings Sebaceous cysts are of two basic histological types, although the distinction has no significant practical relevance • Those arising from hair follicle cells are more properly called pilar cyst and occur on hair-bearing areas such as the scalp • Epidermoid cyst arises from nonhair-bearing areas such as the palms and soles • Although usually simple to diagnose, nevertheless, a sebaceous cyst can sometime be mistaken for other lesions Differential Diagnosis of a Cystic Swelling Thyroglossal cyst in the midline at the front of the neck Brachial cyst anterior to the sternomastoid at the junction of its upper third and lower two-third Parotid tumor at the angle of the mandible Congenital dermoid cyst at lines of embryonic fusion Caseating lymph node Pulsating boney swelling of the skull—metastasis from follicular carcinoma thyroid (mistaken for sebaceous cyst at times) Rarely a solid subcutaneous tumor (such as secondary deposit of a malignant melanoma; thus all excised specimen should be sent for histological examination) Minor Surgical Procedures of Subcutaneous Swellings Site of the Cyst Cyst in some sites of body can cause great difficulty in their removal, unless the doctor is experienced Cyst situated in the posterior triangle of neck or behind the angle of the mandible should be done carefully because of the risk of damage to the spinal accessory and facial nerve Removal of cyst on the back of the neck may be more difficult and more bloodier than expected because the skin there is often thick and firm If possible, the cyst should be removed wholly The cyst wall is often (but not always) attached to deep layers of the overlying dermis If any remnant of the cyst wall is left behind, the cyst is likely to recur For this reason, incision and squeezing out the contents is not recommended (except when infected), although puncturing and emptying the cyst can allow the deflated cyst to be removed through a smaller incision and is an acceptable technique (Figs 22.1 to 22.3) Swellings in the Scalp When removing small cyst in the scalp, it is often enough to trim the hair immediately overlying the cyst itself and then to hold the rest of the hair out of the way with adhesive tapes Fig 22.1: Sebaceous cyst excision Fig 22.2: Excision of a small sebaceous cyst simple incision over the dome 109 110 Surgical Handicraft Fig 22.3: Excision of a sebaceous cyst avoding dead space Steps of Excision of Large Cyst Under Local Anesthesia Position—according to the site of the swelling Antiseptic skin preparation (it is preferable to clip the hair overlying the swelling and the surrounding area) and draping Local infiltration Incision: An elliptical incision is put over the swelling so that the redundant skin can be avoided during closure This will also avoid dead space The elliptical incision should be centered on the punctum with care taken not to puncture the cyst The incision is carefully deepened by sharp dissection until the plane between the cyst and the subcutaneous fat is identified Once this plane has been entered, the cyst may be easily shelled out by blunt dissection with an artery forceps or curved dissecting scissors It may be helpful to retract one end of the skin ellipse with an artery forceps Special care should be taken when dissecting the neck or face to avoid accidental damage to any underlying vessels and nerves, particularly when applying traction If the cyst is accidentally incised during the initial skin incision or during the excision, subsequent dissection may be difficult and messy In these circumstances, it may be helpful to make a fresh, slightly more lateral skin incision, allowing the dissection to proceed further away from the cyst wall and minimizing spillage of cyst content into the wound Any spillage should be mopped up with a wet swab Inflamed Sebaceous Cyst If the cyst is red and painful but the overlying skin is not too angry or indurated, then it is often better to excise the cyst followed by primary suture rather than subjected to incision and drainage followed by later excision The local anesthetic takes longer time to work when there is inflammation Excision of the inflamed cyst will always give rise to more bleeding during the procedure (Fig 22.4) Bleeding will be minimized when local anesthetic mixed with adrenaline is used Minor Surgical Procedures of Subcutaneous Swellings Fig 22.4: Sebaceous cyst excision by secondary incision Previously Infected Sebaceous Cyst The excision of a previously infected cyst may be quite difficult and bloody because of dense fibrous tissue formed In such circumstances, it may be impossible to shell out the cyst Instead the cyst should be excised by sharp dissection in continuity with a block of subcutaneous tissue (Fig 22.5) Fig 22.5: Excision of previously infected sebaceous cyst Lipoma Small superficial lipoma or lipomata are easily diagnosed and shelled out under local anesthesia, however, larger lipomas may extend deep to the deep fascia and sometimes may be intermuscular Lipomas of the back may be deeper than expected and it is safer to it under general anesthesia (Fig 22.6) The fat lobule of a lipoma are usually larger and are easily distinguished from those of normal subcutaneous fat (Fig 22.7) The tumor is usually well-defined with a very thin capsule and can be either dissected out or removed using the squeeze technique 111 112 Surgical Handicraft Fig 22.6: Lipoma dissection Fig 22.7: Dissection of lipoma lobule Steps of Excision of Lipoma Position of the patient—according to the site of the swelling Antiseptic skin preparation and draping Local infiltration Incision is made over the swelling along the skin lines of least skin tension and deepened until the lipoma is identified The incision is needed only for two-thirds of the length of the lesion Once the plane is found between the lipoma and the subcutaneous fat, then it is shelled out by blunt dissection using scissors or a finger (Fig 22.8) Minor Surgical Procedures of Subcutaneous Swellings Fig 22.8: Lipoma finger dissection Occasionally, there are some tethering vessels on deep surface of the lipoma and these should be ligated with absorbable sutures Secure hemostasis The wound should be closed taking care to avoid any dead space In the squeeze method, a smaller incision is made and traction is applied to the lipoma, while digital pressure is applied around the lesion’s circumference to squeeze it out of the wound Since the wound is deliberately small, its cavity cannot be easily inspected Therefore, particular care should be made to ligate any vessels to ensure against any bleeding inside the wound 113 Orthopedics Complications Malunion Stiffness Inferior radioulnar dislocation Carpal tunnel syndrome Extensor pollicis longus rupture Complex regional pain syndrome Management Closed manipulative reduction may be done Using general anesthesia/Bier’s block/sedation, the assistants give traction countertraction and the surgeon reduces by disimpacting and reducing by giving a palmar flexion and ulnar deviation (Fig 33.89) Colles used to give a below elbow slab called the Colles’ Fig 33.89: Traction in Colles’ fracture to disimpact 263 264 Surgical Handicraft plaster which we follow even now, although as a fracture involving inferior radioulnar joint scientifically an above elbow slab should have been given as in Smith fracture Time has proven that a below elbow plaster is ideal This should be applied for 5–6 weeks A plaster check at day and a repeat X-ray at day 10 is ideal (Figs 33.90 and 33.91) For a malunited fracture, excision of the lower one inch of ulna retaining the ulnar styloid for ulnar collateral ligament is done commonly A definitive management is osteotomy and plate fixation of the radius with Darrach’s procedure SCAPHOID FRACTURE Scaphoid fractures are complicated by the distally based blood supply The fractures can be waist fracture, proximal and distal pole fractures and the tuberosity fracture The proximal pole fracture has a high incidence of avascular necrosis and nonunion An attempt of Closed Manipulative Reduction (CMR) and conservative management can be done and if the Fig 33.90: Palmar flexion Fig 33.91: Ulnar deviation Orthopedics fracture stays displaced, an ORIF and screw fixation can be done Nonunion can be managed by bone grafting along with Herbert screw fixation If there is coexisting arthritis, arthrodesis of the involved joint can be done BENNETT’S FRACTURE Bennett’s fracture is fracture dislocation of the base of the first metacarpal The deforming force is the tendon of abductor pollicis longus The differential diagnosis is a ‘T’-shaped fracture of the base of the first metacarpal called Rolando fracture Closed manipulative reduction and casting can be attempted If the displacement persists, a K-wire fixation can be done 265 Index Page numbers followed by f refer to figure and t refer to table A
