A retrospective study of 143 children with circumcision done at the National Univeristy Hospital of Singapore between January 1987 and June 1988 revealed that 141/143 of them were done with an inhalational technique using a mask with halothane. Older children were significantly given more injections (premedication and induction) when compared with their younger counterparts. Caudal epidural was the most commonly used mode of postoperative pain relief.
