Abdominal surgeries done under general anaesthesia is associated with severe pain in the post-operative period. There are many drugs that can be administered to alleviate post-operative pain. Opioids are an essential to the mitigation of visceral pain associated with abdominal surgeries. Apart from needles and epidural catheters which are invasive, transdermal drug delivery systems are novel, non-invasive, and is associated with increased patient comfort.

This study attempts at the evaluation of the analgesic efcacy of fentanyl patch applied pre-operatively in alleviation of post-operative pain in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries under general anaesthesia
Robotic assisted laparoscopic surgeries are a recent advancement in minimal access surgeries that
guarantee faster recovery and minimal life altering choices to the patients. However, the advent of robotic
laparoscopic surgeries has placed and increasing amount of responsibility on the anaesthesiologist to maintain intra-operative
stability as robotic procedures have a unique set of general consideration and their own plethora of physiological changes in the
patient. This case repost describes the anaesthetic management of a 57-year-old Female patient who underwent Robotic
assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy of a non-functioning left kidney
