title: [Anaesthesia without anaesthetist?].
abstract: The continuing decline in the number of anaesthetists-intensive care physicians means that certain operations need to be performed under the responsibility of urologists alone. These procedures can be performed perfectly safely in selected patients, provided the urologist is aware of the inherent risks of each local and regional anaesthesia or sedation technique.
