    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To present hypnosedation and the feasibility of this technique performed for laparoscopic procedure. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective and descriptive study of feasibility. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Hypnosis can significantly reduce intraoperative requirements of intravenous sedation for surgery under local anaesthesia. Modifications of surgical procedure: laparoscopic surgery under local anaesthesia and hypnosis is performed using a subcutaneous lifting of anterior abdominal wall. Insufflation is only use to push out smoke. If patient or surgical uncomfort happens, moral contract with patient includes convert to general anaesthesia. RESULTS: We performed 35 cholecystectomies; 13 needed convert to general anaesthesia, mainly for peritoneal pain induced by CO(2) insufflation; 22 procedures were completed with patients' satisfaction. Upon 15-hernia repairs, only one patient needed convert to general anaesthesia, for dissection difficulty. CONCLUSION: Probably hypnosis can't be extent to intraperitoneal laparoscopic procedures. On the other hand interest of hypnosis performed for extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair must be explore.
