The aim of this report from our practice is to evaluate the submental intubation during procedures and postoperatively inpatients with craniomaxillofacial trauma and corrections of craniofacial anomalies. Between June 2001 and May 2002 thesubmental endotracheal intubation was performed in 5 patients with craniomaxillofacial trauma and in 2 patients withcraniofacial anomalies, the Dubowitz syndrome (Le Fort II osteotomy and distraction) and a patient known with a doublecleft lip alveolus and palate (Le Fort I osteotomy and distraction).The impression is that the submental intubation is a handy,fast and safe technique, which provides an airway in cases...

Carotic endarterectomy belongs to the most often procedures in vascular surgery. The authors present a case of a patientwith extremearteriosclerosis of cerebral arteries,whounderwent successful surgery in the cervical plexus block.The patientwith the complete closure of right cerebral arteries was scheduled for desobliteration surgery of the left internal caroticartery with 95% stenosis. This case demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of regional anaesthesia in a patient with highanaestesiological risk.

For long centuries surgical interventions and wounds care have accompanied the mankind. Not earlier than in the half of19th century it came to the discovery and introduction of effective and safe anaesthesia.The surgeon no more had to operateas quickly as possible to shorten the suffering of the patient. He could concentrate on the exact preparation of tissues, onthe quiet discrimination of local pathology and on the realization of most appropriate therapeutic procedure. After thegeneral acceptation of the principle of wound protection from infection and of the introduction of continuous control ofgeneral state of operated patients, the enormous development...
