However, postoperatively, residual motor dysfunction may lead to distress and discomfort. This study evaluated whether combined saphenous and sciatic nerve blocks provide adequate perioperative analgesia without clinically relevant postoperative pelvic limb motor impairment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this prospective, randomised, blinded study, 19 female goats undergoing bilateral stifle arthrotomy received bilateral ultrasound\u2010guided saphenous and neurostimulator\u2010guided sciatic nerve blocks. Group Bupivacaine\/Lidocaine (BL) received 0.5% bupivacaine for the saphenous block and 2% lidocaine for the sciatic block; group Lidocaine\/Lidocaine (LL) received 2% lidocaine for both blocks. Dexmedetomidine (0.25 \u00b5g\/kg) was added per block. Ketamine was administered intraoperatively if pulse rate or mean arterial pressure increased by more than 20% from baseline.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of nine goats, intraoperative ketamine was required in three goats in group BL and one goat in group LL.
