[Novocaine blocks in the overall treatment of acute cholecystitis, cholecystopancreatitis and pancreatitis].

The authors used paranephric, vagosympathetic and vagoganglionic blockade in 253 patients with acute cholecystitis, cholecystopancreatitis and pancreatitis. The universally adopted methods were used for the estimation of the results with the recording of electrogastrogram before the blockade, immediately after novocaine injection and on hour later. The arrest or subsiding of pain syndrome occurred after paranephric blockade in 78.8% of patients, after vagosympathetic blockade in 95.2% and after vagoganglionic blockade in 92.6%. 20 patients were operated upon.
