Sumario:PURPUSE: The paracervical block (PCB) is a local anesthesia procedure that can be used to perform gynecological surgeries without the need for further anesthesia. With the PCB, surgeries can be moved from the central operating room to outpatient operating rooms, where they can be performed without the presence of an anesthesia team. METHODS: In this paper, the indications, implementation and limitations of the procedure are discussed. CONCLUSION: Especially in times of scarce staff and OR resources during the Corona pandemic, OR capacity can be expanded in this way.
