Abstract (English):	Introduction: Regional anesthesia of the upper limb is a common procedure with considerable advantages in treating patients with arm and hand pathologies. Most of them present as trauma, congenital abnormalities and benign and malignant tumors. Some of its advantages are less postoperative pain; faster recovery and less hospital stay days. Some of the minimum requirements of this technique includes an experienced anesthesiologist, a cooperative patient and in some cases, ultrasound to guide the block. Conclusions: Regional anesthesia of the upper limb is an excellent therapeutic option when treating arm and hand pathologies. Both anesthesiologists and plastic and reconstructive surgeons benefit from its use achieving a better recovery and satisfaction of the patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción: Múltiples procedimientos en cirugía plástica y reconstructiva son realizados en la extremidad superior. La mayoría de estos procedimientos están relacionados con trauma, tumores y malformaciones congénitas. Estos procedimientos requieren en la mayoría de los casos un procedimiento analgésico regional, esta técnica anestésica es ideal para tratamiento de ciertas patologías de la extremidad superior. Dentro de sus ventajas reduce el tiempo de recuperación postoperatoria, mejora la analgesia postoperatoria, disminuye la estancia hospitalaria y baja los costos de atención. La analgesia regional de la extremidad superior puede dividirse en bloqueos por arriba del codo y bloqueos por debajo del mismo. Este procedimiento anestésico requiere de un anestesiólogo experimentado, un paciente cooperador y en algunos casos un ultrasonido. Conclusiones: La analgesia regional es una excelente opción anestésica en el tratamiento de patologías del brazo y mano. La cirugía plástica y reconstructiva se beneficia de esta técnica anestésica permitiendo una mejor recuperación y una alta satisfacción de los pacientes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
