Experience with an alternative method of anesthesia for intracavitary therapy of pelvic carcinoma

Y Maruyama, C Paig, J Yoneda and JR Van Nagell

Placement of intracavitary applicators for treatment of gynecological cancer is usually done in the operating room under general anesthesia. This requires premedication, operating and recovery room time, and is time consuming and expensive. The authors have found that the implant can be performed in a radiation medicine department using intravenous Demerol and Valium. Analgesia has many advantages in comparison to general anesthesia for intracavitary implant therapy.
