    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Brachial plexus surgery requires neural repair with the use of intraoperative peripheral nerve stimulation without muscle relaxants.
Methods: Twelve cases were conducted under total intravenous anaesthesia, receiving intravenous propofol, fentanyl and dexmedetomidine infusion. Intraoperative hemodynamic conditions and postoperative functional recovery were assessed.
Results: 9 out of 12 cases were stable while one was in a lighter plane requiring 20 mg propofol and increased dexmedetomidine, two had bradycardia requiring reduced dexmedetomidine infusion. At three months, five cases showed improvement.
Conclusion: Satisfactory conditions were achieved including hemodynamic stability, and muscle-sparing improving prognoses of brachial plexus surgeries.</abstract>
