Nowadays knee arthroscopy is the most common orthopedic procedure. It is used to diagnose and treat various pathological conditions. Usually knee arthroscopy can be performed using spinal anesthesia. The article presents a successful experience of using a combined technique, which consist in a unilateral subarachnoid anesthesia with additional adductor canal block and blocks of the articular branches of the sciatic and obturator nerves.
