About

new technique in targeting V2 under ultrasound guidance

Full description

the classical approach of V2 transcoronoin for practitioner is considered as difficult with significant failure rate with sustained V3 motor stimulation our approach infrazygomatic anterior out of plane is considered much easier in achieving pure V2 stimulation without V3 which make the thermal radio frequency 80 Celsius can be performed safely
