[Ambulatory anesthesia in pediatrics. 2-year experience of performance at a day hospital].

Ambulatory pediatric anaesthesia is done within a well-organized medical and surgical structure. The anaesthesia consultation confirms the surgical indications, taking into account certain medical pathologies. 27% of elective surgery is done in day-hospital. The anaesthetic techniques described have been done in children from three weeks to sixteen years of age. Intubation was not an exclusion criterion. The major causes for transfer to the general hospital (2.9%) are given. Anaesthetic complications represent 0.1% of such transfers. Scrupulous respect of the selection criteria, competence of anaesthesiologists and of pediatric surgeons are prerequisites for good results.

[Unilateral renal atrophy].

The authors report 45 cases of unilateral renal atrophy. The circumstances of discovery are related to the urological symptoms: pain, hematuria, pyuria. On the other hand, hypertension is rarely the reason for consultation. Women are more affected than men. Intravenous urography, retrograde cystography and arteriography are essential examinations to collect information concerning the etiology. Dynamic scintiscanning with measurement of the percentage of isotope fixed on the kidneys, has the advantage of permitting comparative evaluation of renal function on each side. In our study, obstruction of the urinary tract was more frequent than parenchymatous disease favoured by infection. Vascular abnormalities were rare. The etiological enquiry remained, however, negative in one third of cases. Surgical operation was necessary when a urological abnormality was the cause of persistence of severe symptoms. On the other hand, removal of the atrophic kidney does not seem to us advisable when decided simply to relieve hypertension. The latter point is particularly discussed.
