    AbstractThe use of regional anaesthesia in paediatric surgery remains controversial although the pharmacological and technical aspects, even in this age group, have been described. Many authors regard regional anaesthesia as contra-indicated, and consequently general anaesthesia is preferred in paediatric surgery. In the present study regional anaesthesia was used in the form of supraclavicular, interscalene brachial plexus blockade, axillary brachial plexus blockade, lumbar epidural and spinal blockade in altogether 199 patients in the paediatric age group. Surgically excellent or satisfactory analgesia was achieved in 92-100% of the blocks. No complications were observed.
