Of the two procedures, the paravertebral block is the one of choice,because it affords a wider field of anesthesia and greater facility inhandling the bowel, in case the mesocolon is short; but it is more diffi-cult than the abdominal field-block, and in order to give it successfully,fairly good training is required.
