Abstract
114 prostatectomies performed under epidural anaesthesia at a nonteaching hospital are reported, and the mortality and morbidity analyzed. The overall mortality was 7 per cent. No case required transfusion at operation. There was one case of reactionary haemorrhage which required transfusion in the postoperative period, subsequently shown to be due to a disorder of the clotting mechanism. The advantages and disadvantages of the various methods of anaesthesia for prostatectomy are discussed.
