Abstract

Duodenum inversum is usually associated with chronic abdominal pain which is of unknown etiology. Incomplete rotation of the bowel may be associated with this anomaly. An unusually high incidence of pancreatitis, elevated bilirubin, and hypoalbuminemia was noted in this series of nine patients.

Local versus general anesthesia: which is safer for performing suction curettage abortions?

The relative safety of suction curettage abortions performed with either local or general anesthesia has not been clearly established. To compare the safety of these two anesthetic techniques, we studied 36,430 women who received local anesthetics and 17,725 who received general anesthetics for this operation in the United States from 1971 through 1975. The aggregated major complication rates for the two groups were similar, but there were significant differences between local and general anesthesia for specific complications and treatments. Local anesthesia was associated with higher rates of febrile and convulsive morbidity; however, general anesthesia was associated with higher rates of hemorrhage, cervical injury, and uterine perforation. Both anesthetic techniques appear to be safe, with similar degrees of overall safety, although each is associated with a different spectrum of complications.
