FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: at the beginning of laparoscopic surgery, a device for hydropressing application of local anesthetic is used, consisting of an effector unit - a 30 cm long tube with an inner channel for fluid and a special nozzle at the outer end, wherein the device outer end has an outlet, and the external end has a hole for airtight attachment of a syringe with anesthetic solution. The device is brought up to a distance of 5-10 cm between the outlet and the treated surface.
