In the following case history acupuncture was successfully used as the sole means of anaesthesia for breast reconstruction surgery following cancer. It also facilitated pre-operative procedures, and when used in conjunction with western medical procedures, substantially reduced patient disability, duration of hospitalisation and cost.
