| Summary: | In pediatric practice caudal anesthesia is increasingly being used as a component of combined anesthesia.
Aim. To determine the feasibility and benefits of the combined-caudal epidural anesthesia in anesthesiology maintenance of endourological surgery in young children,
Methods and results. In 35 patients aged from 4 months to 2 years, the study of hemodynamics and cortisol level in blood serum during endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux was conducted. It was found that there were more stable hemodynamic and cortisol levels during the combined anesthesia with caudal epidural block than in the case of traditional intravenous anesthesia.
Conclusion. This demonstrates the significant benefits of anesthesia with the caudal block usage.
