Abstrakt: Ninety-one outpatients had culdoscopy under peridural anesthesia during the period from Oct. 1, 1967 to April 1, 1969 at Magee—Womens Hospital. Seventy-four per cent of these patients were pleased with the peridural technique, and it was demonstrated to be a safe anesthetic technique for outpatients. The incidence of major complications due to anesthesia or culdoscopy was rare. The selection of suitable patients is essential to reduce this incidence. The patient (or the insurance company) saves money by this procedure; it frees hospital beds for inpatients or for emergency cases; and the patient spends less time in the hospital, which may be important to her and to her family.
