Abstract
The effectiveness of cephalic blocks is based on a sound knowledge of nerve territories and their boundaries. After some anatomical reminders, different techniques of anesthesia applied to each type of surgery are described. The realization of these blocks follows the general rules of any anesthesia especially with regards to clinical supervision and asepsis. These are techniques that fall within the framework of an alternative to conventional general anesthesia and that can be combined with sedation.
