[Trans-sacral caudal anesthesia in ambulatory practice in infants. Our experience].
Sacral epidural block (S2 S3 intervertebral space, P. Busoni's method) is as safe and easy as caudal block. 11 children ASA 1 undergoing ambulatory surgery are studied (inguinal herniorrhaphy, undescended testis). Bupivacaine 0.25%, 0.5 ml.kg-1 is unsatisfactory, but anaesthesia is excellent with 0.8 ml.kg-1.

Comparative Study[Shoulder surgery using a plexus block: for or against. Against].
Brachial plexus block is an alternative and elegant procedure for shoulder surgery. Three main concerns have to be considered when this technique is planed. ⋯ Thirdly, when nerve lesions of different mechanisms including plexus block itself occur, the origin of the lesion may be difficulty related to its cause. Indications of cervical block are therefore to be considered cautiously when shoulder surgery is performed.

The Hand Centre of Angers in France is entirely autonomous. 2,200 patients a year undergo hand or wrist surgery under regional anaesthesia exclusively. Authors insist on the importance of pre-selection among patients. Security rules and postoperative recommendations are mandatory.
