Abstract

Laparoscopic surgical techniques offer several advantages over conventional open surgery. However, anaesthesia for laparoscopic surgical procedures is challenging due to various associated physiological consequences mainly of intra-peritoneal carbon dioxide insufflation and positioning. Gall stone disease is rare in pediatric age group and therefore, experience of anaesthetic management in such a condition is limited. Here we describe anaesthetic management of a 56-month-old male child scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gall stone disease.
