Abstract

The technique and advantages of caudal peridural anesthesia for proctology surgery are reported. The scarce invasivity of this methodology, the scarce or lack of interference with respiratory and cardiocirculatory functionality, the good analgesic effect postoperatively in our patients operated for proctology pathology, established the reason why we consider caudal analgesia particularly indicated for proctology surgery.

[Spinal regional anesthetic approaches in children: caudal block and spinal anesthesia].

Caudal anesthesia is a safe, simple and very effective method to provide excellent perioperative analgesia. It is used routineously in pediatric anesthesia and can be applied to nearly all children with surgery below the umbilicus. In contrast, spinal anesthesia is a very special technique for former preterm infants below the 50th postconceptive week who are prone to develop postoperative apnea. It has been suggested that some of the problems associated with general anesthesia in these patients may be avoided by the use of spinal anesthesia.
