Description

The thigh is a common donor site for split skin grafts. We experienced regional blockade of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve for harvesting split skin grafts from thighs in 6 patients. We blocked the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve by injecting 10 ml of 1% lidocaine with or without 1 : 100,000 epinephrine. Sufficient anesthesia was achieved in 5 patients. The remaining patient obtained partial anesthesia of local infiltration into the thigh. We suggest that the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block is very useful for harvesting split-thickness skin grafts from the thigh.
