Summary
Patients with respiratory disease have an increased risk of developing complications
perioperatively. The use of regional anesthesia decreases this risk with better postoperative
outcome. The aim of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of thoracic spinal
versus thoracic epidural anesthesia for open nephrectomy in patients with
obstructive/restrictive lung disease.
