Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery requires some anesthetic considerations and has complications that we must to know. One of them is subcutaneous emphysema. In this report we present a case of occurring subcutaneous emphysema during elective laparoscopic total thyroidectomy(BABA, Bilateral Axillo-Breast approach). The patient was treated conservatively and recovered completely. She was discharged from the Hospital without any complication.
