We report on late results of 100 risk patients, who were operated by cryosurgical technique because of bladder neck obstructions. Detailed representation of complications. The primary mortality was 5%. Controls after one year showed good functional results on 80% of the patients. 60% of the patients had sterile urine, whereas only 17% of the male patients had no infection before the operation. As to the anatomical results we could talk of a cryoprostatectomy in 25% of the cases. Because of a 20% failure cryosurgery remains a palliative operation, which can only be carried out on risk patients. Because of little hemorrhagic diathesis and the possibility to perform this operation under local anesthesia cryosurgical operations on the other hand are suitable for patients, who cannot be anesthetised. Otherwise these patients had needed a permanent catheter. We prefer shorter freezing times of 3--4 min. Essentially we could show the same functional results as other authors, who preferred longer freezing times, until they reached a certain temperature in the prostatic capsule. By shorter freezing times on the contrary we could avoid secondary transurethral resections of larger necroses. New disturbed micturition after cryosurgical treatment of the prostate is unusual. The question of a later recidivation is of secondary importance because of the primary high morbidity rate of the selected number of cases.

In the prophylaxis of surgical interventions performed in the Dental Clinic for dental avulsions under general anesthesia, the V. F. (peptides deriving from the enzymatic degradation of bovine Factor VIII) has been shown to be particularly active in the reduction of the quantity of blood lost per tooth, corresponding to a reduction in blood loss of an average of 40% to 45%. The "double blind" experiment confirmed a significant hemostatic capacity of the preparation. V. F. in extremely small doses (1 mg/day) divided into two daily, oral administrations, isn't toxic, isn't habit forming and doesn't provoke immunological reactions. On the basis of its positive characteristics (diminution of blood lost without alteration of the parameters of coagulation or platelet aggregation), V. F. seems to be the preparation of choice for the treatment of hemorrhagic diathesis not accompanied by coagulation defect, and also as a preventive measure in minor surgical interventions where small vessels are involved and hemostasis cannot be achieved surgically.

The authors summarize the operative experiences performed with CO2 laser in 352 cases of oral surgery with special regard to the hemostatic effect. One of the patients suffered from hemophilia, 5 from thrombocytopenia and 5 from hypoprothrombinemia. Of the alterations to be eliminated 128 were especially inclined to hemorrhage (hemangioma, epulis, granuloma fissuratum). The operations were carried out with out-patients in local anesthesia. Due to the hemostatic effect of the laser the surgery could be performed in dry operative areas, the laser knife coagulates in the course of cutting the small vessels. Both in the group of patients with hemorrhagic diathesis and in the group of operation of alterations inclined to bleeding the experiences were highly favourable. No significant differences were found between the group of patients with hemorrhagic diathesis and other patients in the respect of the duration of operation, degree of bleeding, healing of the wound and complication. CO2 laser of high energy was found to be well applicable in the field of oral surgery owing to its excellent hemostatic effect, especially in operations where the patient or the alteration to be removed (possibly both) are disposed to bleeding.

A 30-year-old woman with von Willebrand's disease was admitted in labor. As epidural analgesia was ruled out due to risk of spinal hematoma, a pump for patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) was provided with boluses of remifentanil and set for intravenous infusion of 24 micrograms with a lockout time of 5 minutes. The patient reported analgesia to be satisfactory. Later, because of abnormal fetal positioning, an emergency cesarean was performed with the patient under general anesthesia with remifentanil, with propofol and succinylcholine for induction. A healthy girl was born free of respiratory depression. Von Willebrand's disease is a hemorrhagic disorder of autosomal dominant inheritance due to a quantitative or functional factor VIII deficit. Various subtypes and degrees of severity of abnormal bleeding have been described. It is the most common genetic hemostatic disorder affecting obstetric procedures, and although epidural analgesia has been used with strict hematologic monitoring, that technique carries a risk of hematoma. PCA is useful in patients for whom regional techniques are contraindicated. With adequate fetal and maternal monitoring, remifentanil in PCA is safe and more effective than other opiates for labor pain.

We report on a 21-year-old woman with a severe form of Lobstein's syndrome, who underwent a Cesarean section. The following issues are discussed: the risk of sustaining fractures during positioning, fractures by automatic blood pressure measurement, an almost always existing latex allergy, a susceptibility for malignant hyperthermia, potential cardiac defect, difficult endotracheal intubation, lowering of the conus medullaris to an area usually used for spinal puncture, severe spinal deformities resulting in difficult puncture, hemorrhagic diathesis, and unpredictability of the expansion of local anesthetics in the vertebral canal. In this case the procedure could be carried out in spinal anesthesia without encountering major problems.

We performed general anesthesia for a lip repair and palatoplasty in a patient with left ventricular hypoplasia following a Glenn procedure. Preoperative examination revealed hemorrhagic diathesis, hypoxemia, and secondary polycythemia. After completion of the palatoplasty, hypoxemia and intraoral bleeding were observed, and reintubation was required. The bleeding risk was likely increased in this patient due to several factors including the surgical procedure and concurrent antithrombotic therapy. In conclusion, the risks associated with hypoxemia and increased bleeding must be considered for the safe provision of general anesthesia during palatoplasty procedures in patients with cyanotic heart disease.
