Anaesthesia Management of Inguinal Hernia in a Patient With Severe Kyphoscoliosis

Abstract

BACKGROUND Patients with kyphoscoliosis present a unique challenge during their anaesthetic management due to physiological derangements in cardiac and pulmonary function and may cause difficulties with both tracheal intubation and regional anaesthesia. We present a case report of 30 year's male patient with severe kyphoscoliosis posted for right side Lichtenstein's meshplasty successfully managed with spinal anaesthesia.
