Abstract
In this study we presented the analysis of regional anesthesia (epidural and spinal) effectiveness in 72 fetoscopic laser coagulation (FLC) of placental anastomoses, performed in Saint Petersburg Maternity hospital № 17. In 2008 FLC was performed under epidural anesthesia and average time of procedure was 120 minutes, in 2017 according the rising surgical experience the time of procedure reduced to 33 (23–37.5) minutes, that allowed start to use spinal anesthesia. Conclusions: regional methods (epidural and spinal) manage adequate level of anesthesia. Rising surgical experience and reducing the time of procedure to 33 (23–37.5) minutes allowed to use spinal anesthesia successfully. In 29.2 % of cases of regional anesthesia intraoperative arterial hypotension was observed but was successfully corrected by moderate vasopressors doses. No other anesthesiological maternal complications were observed, which confirming safety of regional anesthesia in fetoscopic laser coagulation of placental anastomoses.
