Key result
Thoracic epidural anaesthesia was an effective sole anaesthetic technique with minimal hemodynamic consequences and no post-operative complications for a laparoscopic myomectomy.
Why the study?
Is thoracic epidural anaesthesia safe and effective as a sole anaesthetic technique for laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with contraindications to general anaesthesia?

Thoracic epidural anaesthesia may be a safe and effective alternative to general anaesthesia for laparoscopic myomectomy in select patients.
Thoracic epidural anaesthesia for elective laparoscopic myomectomy is good alternative to general anaesthesia and seems to be effective technique, with minimal hemodynamic consequences and excellent patient satisfaction and no post-operative complications provided patient cooperation, minimal inflation pressure and mild table tilt. We present here one case of laparoscopic myomectomy under thoracic epidural anaesthesia in patient with relative contraindication to general anaesthesia.

Fatah et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Laparoscopic myomectomy (n=1). Thoracic epidural anaesthesia was evaluated. Thoracic epidural anaesthesia was an effective sole anaesthetic technique with minimal hemodynamic consequences and no post-operative complications for a laparoscopic myomectomy.
