AB The  goal  of  this  chapter  is  to  additionally  discuss  the  benefits  of  regional  anesthesia  with  beyond  the  immediate  perioperative  period.  While  there  are  several  other  outcomes  of  interest,  such  as  morbidity  and  mortality  or  cancer  recurrence,  our  focus  is  on  three  long-term  outcomes  after  elective  surgery  because  of  their  particular  importance:  (1)  chronic  pain,  (2)  joint  function,  and  (3)  cognitive  outcomes.
