Abstract

Abstract Nephrectomies are usually performed under general anesthesia alone or in combination with regional anesthesia and rarely under regional anesthesia alone. We report the management of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a history of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax undergoing nephrectomy under regional anesthesia alone.

Keywords

Resumo

Resumo Geralmente, as nefrectomias são feitas sob anestesia geral, isoladamente ou em combinação com anestesia regional, e raramente sob anestesia regional sozinha. Relatamos o tratamento de um paciente com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica e história de pneumotórax espontâneo recorrente submetido à nefrectomia sob anestesia regional isolada.
