Abstract
Background: Recently, laparoscopic surgery is preferred because it reduces the invasiveness and recovery time, and general anesthesia is generally performed. However, depending on the patient's medical history, general anesthesia can result in serious side effects. Case: A 44-year-old woman with a past history of inhalation burns was scheduled for Laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy. Considering the patient's history, it was decided that regional anesthesia would be more appropriate, and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia was performed. After anesthesia, the pain block level was about Thoracic level 2 and the operation was completed without any complaint of pain. Conclusions: Regional anesthesia can be a sufficient alternative for patients who are expected to have serious complications due to general anesthesia or with respiratory mediated infectious and should be considered in patients who think that regional anesthesia is more beneficial.
