title: Comparison of atracurium and alcuronium in day-case gynaecological surgery.
abstract: Alcuronium and atracurium were used on a randomised basis as part of the anaesthetic technique for out-patient gynaecological laparoscopy. Conditions for intubation and relaxation were similar but there was a marked decrease in the incidence of minor postoperative sequelae in the atracurium group.
