title: [Celioscopy with peridural anesthesia. Techniques, indications, results in 220 cases].
abstract: The authors used epidural anaesthesia to carry out laparoscopy in 220 patients. The chief indications for the laparoscopies were GIFT (intratubal transfer of gametes) and tubal sterilization. The technique used was slightly different according to the indications for the use but they had to be sure of anaesthetising up to T4. In 90% of cases the patients tolerated the procedure well. No change in ventilation or in metabolic measurements. As far as fertilization was concerned studies carried out in various parameters failed to show any untoward side effects due to the use of local anaesthetics. Finally so long as the anaesthesia is only used for a short length of time this technique seems to be suitable for day cases.
