title: [Experiences with sacral anesthesia in combination with morphine analgesia].
abstract: Sacral anaesthesia is an anaesthetic method which is easy to learn, has a low complication rate and can be used also in elderly patients. The application of long-lasting local anaesthetics like bupivacaine in combination with morphine provides good conditions for postoperative pain relief following proctological operations. The extradural injection of 5 mg morphine considerably eases the postoperative period for the patient. The mean value of postoperative pain relief amounts to 53 +/- 23.4 hours in patients given sacral anaesthesia with 2 mg/kg bupivacaine with adrenaline 0.005% and 5 mg morphine. Our results are based on 513 patients of whom 105 were given sacral anaesthesia without morphine and 308 with morphine.
