title: [Caudal block in the surgical repair of vesico-renal reflux].
abstract: One hundred and twenty children have benefited from surgical cure for vesico-renal reflux under loco-regional anesthesia per caudal way, with use of a mixed solution of Lidocaine 1%, Bupivacaine 0.5%, with Adrenaline, along with a complementary narcosis. During the per operative time: the subsequent analgesia and muscular relief have always been excellent and lasted long enough. The hemodynamic status always showed a perfect stability. As to the ventilation, no deleterious effect could be demonstrated. Per operative blooding is reduced and central temperature is more easily controlled. During the post-operative time: the caudal anesthesia has allowed to maintain an efficient analgesia during a mean period of 12 hours which has been considered as sufficient. All the children went quickly back to a normal digestive function. There was no complication relevant to this technique.
