bese patients and weight related health problems represent a great
challenge for modern anesthesiologists to find most adequate and optimal
anesthesiology technique. In our poster presentation we would like to present
a case of morbidly obese patient scheduled for flexible ureterorenoscopy and
laser lithotripsy operation as treatment for nephrolithiasis at our urology clinic.
Patient was a morbidly obese woman with BMI of 57 kg/m2, with history of
asthma, diabetes mellitus type II, arterial hypertension and hypothyreosis. Our
case is specific because this patient had the same operation twice in a two-
month period. First operation was in May 2017 when the operation was done in
general endotracheal anesthesia, and second one in July 2017 done in regional
spinal anesthesia. In this poster, we will show the preoperative, intraoperative
and postoperative clinical course of the patient for both anesthesia techniques,
discuss the differences between them, discuss pros and cons of each one, and
at the end we will give our opinion on which anesthesia is better and why.

regional anesthesia
