The Ultrasound-guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SIFIB) is an advanced regional anesthesia technique strategically directed at the three primary nerves of the lumbar plexus. As the scope of regional anesthesia methods continues to grow in clinical application, this approach emerges as a versatile method. It can be used independently for pain management or as the primary anesthetic method, particularly in well-selected patients undergoing isolated limb surgeries or in combination with other regional anesthesia approaches.
The study follows a retrospective cohort feasibility design, conducted within the confines of a tertiary hospital. The requisite data for analysis was acquired by accessing patient records and electronic data systems. A cohort of 16 patients was carefully chosen for inclusion in the study, and the administration of blocks was carried out before the surgical procedures.

| Suprainguinal fascia iliaca block | Other | The design of this study involved the retrospective analysis of data. Data was gathered from adult patients falling into the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) categories I to III, who were scheduled for elective lower limb surgical procedures. More specifically, patients who had undergone SIFIB either as the primary anesthesia approach or as part of their anesthesia regimen were included. Those who had received general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia, or infiltration anesthesia were excluded from the study. Importantly, all patients who participated in the study provided written informed consent for both their involvement in the study and the publication of their data. |

|---|---|---|
| Block Success which provided surgical anesthesia, intraoperatively | After performing the blocks, the sensory block was examined with a pinprick test using a 27-gauge hypodermic needle, (0 = no sensory block; 1 = tactile sense present, no pain; 2 = no tactile sense and no pain). Cases with a score of 1 or 2 after 30 min were considered successful. | Intraoperatively and PACU unit (up to 2 hours) |
