Abstract

Epidural administration of opioids effectively prevents the sensitization of nociceptive neurons of the posterior horn of the spinal cord, induced by surgical trauma, without the development of motor and autonomic blockade. Study includes 52 patients aged 1 month to 18 years with malignant tumors who underwent surgical treatment at the Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Research Institute, during 2009-2016 years. Surgeries were combined (thoraco-laparotomy). The method of epidural use of morphine in pediatric oncosurgery is presented.
