Abstract EN
Multimodal anesthesia, which combines general and epidural anesthesia, is used in surgical cases in which a large or painful incision is anticipated.
However, both epidural blocks and opioid-based analgesia have limitations in application.
Here, we present a case of supra-infraumbilical laparotomy in a patient whose history of neurostimulator use and marked scoliosis discouraged the placement of an epidural catheter and whose prior adverse response to opioids prohibited their use.
The intraoperative and postoperative management of this patient consisted of a combination of analgesia without opioids and erector spinae plane block.
Adequate analgesia was achieved, and intraoperative or postoperative opioids were not required.
This case illustrates the importance of mastering alternative and multimodal analgesia techniques that can be used in place of classical analgesia techniques when classical analgesia techniques are not appropriate.
