    Abstract:
    Morphine in epidural application (2-3 mg in 10 cc saline solution 0,9%) gives a long lasting segmental analgesia. In 15 patients after upperabdominal surgery the overall mean dosage of morphine was 8,85 mg within three days. The effect lasted for about 15 hours per application. No other analgetics were needed. All patients were content with this method of postoperative analgesia. There were no side effects or complications.
