ABSTRACT
Post pneumonectomy patients pose a challenge to the anaesthetist owing to the altered respiratory mechanics and decreased respiratory reserve. Performing laparoscopic surgery in such patients further deteriorates the already compromised lung functions. Authors report a case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in post pneumonectomy patient. A clear understanding of respiratory mechanics and post pneumonectomy physiological changes helped us to administer a safe anaesthesia and safe perioperative outcome.
