Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become firmly established as a procedure of choice for gallstonedisease. The procedure usually necessitates general anaesthesia and endotracheal intubation to preventaspiration and respiratory embarrassment secondary to the induction of pneumoperitoneum. There is apaucity of data in the literature on the procedure being performed under regional (epidural) anaesthesia,especially in patients with coexisting pulmonary disease who are deemed high risk for general anaesthesia.
