For 2 years, the team of pediatric anesthesia and surgery of the Montpellier University Hospital also offers for selected short and superficial non-invasive surgeries, an intraoperative management under hypnosis in association with ocal anesthesia as an alternative to general anesthesia. If this clinical practice of hypnosis is fully accepted and recognized in our intraoperative surgical unit, to date, no studies have evaluated the benefits of this technique compared to general anesthesia.
