[Caudal anesthesia in pediatric surgery].
Caudal anaesthesia in pediatric surgery about 116 cases (children from three weeks to 18 years with 64 below 5 years) is reported. The caudal anaesthesia, at 6 mg/kg, is very usefull for surgery below T 10 because: --it can be used in day surgery, --it avoids intubation and its complications, --it allows feeding as soon as required, --it gives a post operative analgesia. In our practice, this technique is safe and is real progress compare to the general anaesthesia.
