Postoperative nausea, vomiting, airway morbidity, and analgesic requirements are lower for the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway than the tracheal tube in females undergoing breast and gynaecological surgery. Br J Anaesth 2007; 99:576-580. The results of this study support the move to using the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway rather than endotracheal intubation in gynaecology and breast surgery. The results show a reduction in nausea, vomiting and airway trauma, which are important in ambulatory surgery.
