[Anesthesia in ambulatory vascular surgery. Our experience in private practice]

Outpatient vascular surgery is now widely performed in our clinic of only 50 beds. It concerns almost exclusively varicose veins stripping. Almost all anaesthetic drugs and techniques were used during the period considered, excepting spinal anaesthesia and lower limb regional blocks. According to our experience, more than anaesthetic techniques, information of the patients and security measures govern a successful outpatient practice.
