Comparative Study
[Postoperative nausea, vomiting and pain after pediatric outpatient surgery : comparison of laparoscopic and conventional inguinal hernia repair].
The number of laparoscopic surgery is increasing in pediatric surgery. There are few studies in which the pediatric outpatient postoperative course was compared between the laparoscopic and conventional open surgery. ⋯ The patients undergoing LPEC required more postoperative analgesics. The measures to lower postoperative nausea and vomiting should be adopted in these patients.

In this article, we describe 14 case reports of using ultrasound guidance to facilitate blockade of the cervical nerve root. ⋯ We conclude that ultrasound guidance might be useful for cervical nerve root blocks by improving nerve and vascular localization, and injections under real-time fluoroscopy might make this block safer by identification of the intravascular injection.

This study aimed to investigate the annual incidence and characteristics of perioperative pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in Japan from 2005 through 2007, and to compare the current trend with that observed in our previous studies conducted since 2002. ⋯ The incidence of perioperative PTE and fetal PTE has currently decreased; however, prophylaxis with anticoagulant drugs may have reduced the mortality in some cases.
