[Sacral anesthesia in proctology]

The experience with sacral anesthesia is reported on a total of 513 proctologic patients. From them, 105 cases were submitted to the sacral anesthesia without extradural morphine application, and 308 cases were anesthesized with simultaneous extradural administration of morphine. Easy in applicability, the sacral anesthesia is such an analgesic procedure which results in no complications and may be employed mainly in elder patients. The anesthetics prolonged in action (those similar in type with Bupivacain, Marcain) together with extradural morphine administration are also effective in respect with postoperative analgesia. An average time of postoperative analgesia represents 53 +/- 23.4 hrs. when 2 mg/kg Bupivacain, 0005% Epinephrine and 5 mg Morphinum hydrochloricum are applied, respectively.
