title: [Evaluation of postoperative pain in spinal surgery--usefulness of the administration of local anesthetics into the peridural cavity].
abstract: Analgesic effects of perioperative administration of local anesthetics into the peridural cavity were examined in 21 patients with cervical or lumbar vertebral diseases. Sufficient analgesic effects were obtained particularly in patients with lumbar vertebral disease. Administration of local anesthetics was also effective for postoperative sleep on the day of operation. No postoperative neurological side effects were observed. These findings suggest that peridural administration of local anesthetics during spinal surgery is very useful.
