      The article discusses a technique for identifying the proximal sciatic nerve using ultrasound guidance. The authors propose the pre-injection of saline at the sub-paraneural popliteal site to enhance the visualization of the nerve in the proximal thigh. This technique can be particularly useful in cases where the deep location of the nerve and the presence of obesity make localization challenging. The authors describe a case study where this technique was successfully used for anesthesia in a below-knee amputation surgery. [Extracted from the article]
