Abstract

Breast minor surgical operations, either demolitive or reconstructive, are more frequently effected by day-hospital modalities, to obviate to room scarcity and to meet patients requirements. Several patients, due to age or to concomitant pathologies, show risks caused by premature dismissal after having general anaesthesia. This problem led Authors to find an alternative loco-regional anaesthesia. Good results encouraged them to extend this method.
