[Regional anesthesia as a useful alternative to general anesthesia? Overview of the current data].
Neuromuscular disorders are rare and often not very well diagnosed diseases. They can be separated in prejunctional, junctional or postjunctional diseases. General anesthesia is connected with a higher risk, therefore regional anesthesia could often be regarded with favour and could be a safe alternative. Because of the lack of systematically studies and guidelines the decision choosing a regional anesthesia is always a risk-benefit-analysis. This and also the detailed preoperative neurological status must, because of forensic reason, exactly be documented.
