Perioperative Management of a Scoliotic Patient Posted for Laproscopic Cholecystectomy-Challenge for Anaesthesiologist
Scoliosis is a complex deformity of the spine resulting in lateral curvature and rotation of the vertebrae as well as a deformity of the rib cage. Patients with ankylosing spondylitis or severe kyphosis or scoliosis represent a challenging group to anesthesiologists and laparoscopic surgeons since these diseases are associated with difficult intubation, restrictive ventilatory defects, and cardiac problems. Here, we describe a case of 51-year-old male with severe thoracolumbar scoliosis posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
