title: [Anesthetic management of a patient with a history of right upper lobectomy for esophageal resection via left thoracotomy].
abstract: We anesthetized a patient for esophageal resection in a right lateral decubitus position, because of his right pleural adhesion after lobectomy for tuberculosis. Although hypoxemia was expected on left lung compression during the surgery, oxygenation was not compromised. A good ventilation/perfusion relationship might have been maintained in both the right and left lungs during the procedure.
