title: [Caudal anesthesia: experience at the University Hospital Center of Treichville. 50 cases].
abstract: The above account concerns 50 cases of caudal anaesthesia with 2% plain lidocaine (i.e. without adrenaline), after a preliminary and a complementary general anaesthesia for surgical operations in the infra umbilical region not exceeding one hour in duration. The anaesthetic effect was as rapid as the recovery from it. The analgesic effect was excellent in 98% of cases. No per or post operative complications were observed with the employment of this technique. The authors recommend that this technique should be employed more frequently in day case pediatric surgery.
