AB  - From the second half of the nineties, Total IntraVenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) has been adopted with more than satisfactory results in oral medicine and otolaryngology surgical interventions of medium duration. The aim of the research was to evaluate the Inhalatory anaesthesia Vs TIVA in oral surgery and laryngectomy. Forty six patients were enrolled and randomly divided in 2 groups, identified with letters A and B. On group A patients, anaesthesia was carried out with TIVA method, while group B patients received a conventional balanced gasoeus anaesthesia. The data collected revealed an undeniable superiority of TIVA compared to gaseous anaesthesia with regard to patient comfort and to a remarkable reduction of surgical and hospitalization times. The key factor to fulfil these conditions, however, was a thorough knowledge of the technique and the possibility of having proper monitoring. TIVA can be adopted with satisfactory results in oral and otolaryngology surgery.
