Abstract
Summary: Transoral surgery on lesions in the craniocervical region has been performed on 25 patients in this unit. The anaesthetic management is presented. Tracheostomy and nasotracheal intubation have both been used. Peroperative monitoring of cord compression remains an important and only partly solved problem. There were two deaths as a result of anaesthesia and surgery, and these are discussed.Keywords
