To the EditorSidhu et al. [1] describes their experience of using electroacupuncture in a craniotomy for drainage of an acuteon-chronic subdural hematoma. Owing to concurrent medical problems, the patient was offered the “option of using electroacupuncture solely”. The operation was successfully completed, and the authors advocate the use of electroacupuncture during craniotomies. The article is misleading as electroacupuncture was not the sole form of surgical analgesia. The authors mention that the scalp was infiltrated with lignocaine before incision. In addition, the operation was completed within 1 hour. The duration of surgery falls well within the 1-to 2-hour duration of the action of lignocaine [2]. Although not specifically indicated in the article, scalp blocks often use a mixture of lignocaine and 1:2000000 adrenaline. The addition of adrenaline reduces scalp bleeding but, more significantly, prolongs the analgesic effect. Given that the analgesic effect of lignocaine would be expected to extend throughout surgery and into the early postoperative period, it is very difficult to argue that electroacupuncture had an analgesic role (if any) in this case. Second, the article is titled “Electroacupuncture-assisted craniotomy on an awake patient”. The article diagrams show either a burr hole or a minicraniotomy [1]. This involves making a skull opening of less than 7 cm and is one of the commonest neurosurgical procedures. Our hospital frequently performs these under local anaesthesia. Although it may be argued that electroacupuncture can be used as an adjunct in minicraniotomies, its efficacy in larger craniotomies has not been convincingly studied in the article.
