Country Philippines
Abstract Background: Open appendectomy is still performed in the Philippines. The choice of anesthetic technique should tailor the patient's profile and the disease’s extent. This case presents a unique scenario involving a patient with a known case of ameloblastoma, complicating her anesthetic management Method: A 29-year-old female presented with migratory abdominal pain associated with symptoms of acute appendicitis. She was scheduled for an emergency open appendectomy under continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia, selected for its advantage in providing reliable surgical anesthesia in a probable prolonged surgery. Result: Epidural anesthesia provided adequate sensorimotor blockade during the three-hour surgery. Patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged two days after the operation. This case presents the need for tailored anesthetic approaches in managing patients with unique medical histories undergoing common surgical procedures. These findings contribute to the limited studies on open appendectomy under continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia in a patient with massive ameloblastoma.
