ABSTRACT
Kyphosis is a deformity characterized by anterior flexion of the vertebral column. When severe, kyphosis may decrease lung volume and compliance, leading to increased work of breathing and deterioration of pulmonary function. Moreover, postoperative respiratory failure is a common problem for patients with severe spinal deformities. We describe the successful case of general anaesthesia in a 71-year-old male patient with severe thoracolumbar kyphosis undergoing open surgery converted from robotic surgery.
