[Locoregional anesthesia in surgery with day hospitalization. Our experience with 240 cases].

Abstract

Locoregional anaesthesia has become an excellent complement of conventional general anaesthesia, because it results in efficient postoperative pain relief and is easy to carry out. We have performed two types of anaesthetic blockade: of peripheral nerve (dorsal nerve of the penis and abdominogenital nerve) and caudal block. Both have been employed in pediatric day surgery with good results in postoperative pain relief and with no complications. Advantages such as early recovery of oral feeding and the normal activity of the child are possible when using these techniques of locoregional anaesthesia.
