Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pneumothorax during laparoscopic surgery is a potentially fatal complication.We present a case of left-sided pneumothorax complicating laparoscopic anterior resection of the sigmoid colon cancer.After signs suggestive of pneumothorax were recognized during carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum, chest X-ray confirmed the diagnosis.Oxygen saturation and vital signs were maintained by increasing the inspired oxygen fraction and deflating the pneumoperitoneum.The pneumothorax resolved spontaneously after surgery and there were no complications.This case shows the importance of vigilance on the part of the anesthesiologist during laparoscopic surgery.
