Regional anaesthesia comprising axillary block of the brachial plexus is a common anaesthetic technique for distal upper limb surgery. This is an update of a review first published in 2006 and previously updated in 2011 and 2013.
- Single‐dose intravenous diclofenac for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Aug-2018

- Single‐dose intravenous ibuprofen for acute postoperative pain in adults

Postoperative administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduces patient opioid requirements and, in turn, may reduce the incidence and severity of opioid-induced adverse events (AEs).
- Single‐dose intravenous ketorolac for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-May-2021
Postoperative pain is common and may be severe. Postoperative administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduces patient opioid requirements and, in turn, may reduce the incidence and severity of opioid-induced adverse events (AEs).
- Single‐dose intravesical chemotherapy after nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-May-2019
Single-dose, postoperative intravesical chemotherapy reduces the risk of bladder cancer recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumours. However, there is limited evidence whether single-dose intravesical chemotherapy is similarly effective at
