ObjectiveTo present hypnosedation and the feasibility of this technique performed for laparoscopic procedure.Study DesignRetrospective and descriptive study of feasibility.Patients And MethodsHypnosis can significantly reduce intraoperative requirements of intravenous sedation for surgery under local anaesthesia. Modifications of surgical procedure: laparoscopic surgery under local anaesthesia and hypnosis is performed using a subcutaneous lifting of anterior abdominal wall. Insufflation is only use to push out smoke. If patient or surgical uncomfort happens, moral contract with patient includes convert to general anaesthesia.ResultsWe performed 35 cholecystectomies; 13 needed convert to general anaesthesia, mainly for peritoneal pain induced by CO(2) insufflation; 22 procedures were completed with patients' satisfaction. Upon 15-hernia repairs, only one patient needed convert to general anaesthesia, for dissection difficulty.ConclusionProbably hypnosis can't be extent to intraperitoneal laparoscopic procedures. On the other hand interest of hypnosis performed for extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair must be explore.
