[Propofol and 3-in-1 block in ambulatory varix surgery].

A method of anaesthesia for surgical treatment of varicose veins is presented. This consists of a combination of propofol and three-in-one blockade. In a non-blind, non-randomised series, this method was accepted just as well as epidural analgesia or general anaesthesia. The method is recommended for outpatient surgical treatment of varicose veins on account of rapid waking of the patients, reduced need for observation after anaesthesia and reduced pollution with anaesthetic gases in the operation theatre.
