Novocaine blockade of the rheumatic nerves and sympathetic trunks in connection with surgical treatment of inflammatory processes of the peritoneum and abdominal cavity organs

Since 1933 we use novocaine block for patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers as a diagnostic tool for indications to surgical intervention. Along with it, in recent years we widely apply novocaine blockade of the cranial nerves and border sympathetic trunks not only as a diagnostic means, but also as a therapeutic one - in acute appendicitis and gallbladder inflammation.
