title: [Sacral epidural anesthesia as a method in technically complicated abortions].
abstract: An experience is reported with the use of epidural-sacral anesthesia for artificial abortion in 102 primiparae+- and nulligravidas and in 86 patients with scarring deformity or partial atresia of the endocervix. Two percent trimecaine was used in a single dose 6 mg/kg. A high efficiency of anesthesia was seen in 92% of cases. There was a significant relaxation of the cervix which facilitated cervical dilation and reduced the incidence of tissue injury. The population under study showed a lower incidence of intraoperative blood loss and early postabortal complications as compared with a population which received other anesthesia. These results suggest that epidural-sacral anesthesia is a promising technique for artificial abortion in primiparae+- and nulliparous women and in women with scarring cervical lesions.
