    AbstractA combination of local anesthetics (2% lydokaine solution, 2 mg/kg; 0.5% bupivakaine solution, 0.4 mg/kg or 0.75% ropivakaine solution, 0.55 mg/kg), promedol (20 mg) and corticosteroids (125 mg hydrocortisone or 80 mg kenalog) was epidurally administered in 78 patients to arrest the pronounced root pain syndrome of the lumbar-sacral localization provoked by intervertebral disk hernias. The most prolonged analgesic effect was registered in groups, whose patients received bupivakaine or ropivakaine, which prevented the onset of pain before the antiinflammatory effect of corticosteroids started. The patient must be informed well in advance about the possibility of a momentary relapse of pains and about the intensification (at the same time moment) of pharmacotherapy prescribed by neuropathologist.
