288 Saudi Journal of Anesthesia / Volume 17 / Issue 2 / April-June 2023 ambulation and discharge and prevent complications (e.g., fall, thromboembolism). The genicular nerve block is one such technique used traditionally for chronic knee pain for patients. Another recent addition for the management of post‐operative knee surgery is the IPACK block.[6] We have combined both techniques for this particular patient (with a high body mass index and comorbidities). We introduced a new name – the G‐PACK block. The surgeon did not infiltrate any local anesthesia agents in the field, and the post‐operative analgesic requirement was significantly lower. Ours is the first report of combining two attractive regional techniques in knee surgery to the best of our knowledge. G‐PACK can significantly help in early ambulation and hospital discharge.
