[The comparative characteristics of anesthesia methods in operations for tumors located on the extremities].

Seventy patients operated on for malignant tumors located in the extremities have been examined, 30 of them were operated on under conduction anesthesia. The adequacy of anesthesia was assessed using clinical metabolic and electrophysiological techniques. Evident advantages of conduction anesthesia over general anesthesia during short-term interventions have been substantiated.
