title: Continuous in situ diffusion of ropivacaine for ambulatory congenital hand disorders surgery in young children.
abstract: Pediatric ambulatory surgery presents a specific set of challenges to the anesthesiologist. Similarly to adult ambulatory surgery, we report four ambulatory surgical procedures in two young children with congenital hand disorders. For each surgical procedure pain was controlled with continuous in situ infusion of ropivacaine.
