[Anesthetic managements of the patients receiving catheterizable cecostomy].
To improve the quality of life of patients suffering from spinal cord injury, "Catheterizable cecostomy" operation have recently been carried out. In the procedure, cathetelizable stoma is opened and patients are able to control the excretion by injecting enema solution through the stoma. Although operations are usually performed under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation, special considerations sometimes need to be taken for airway management. In such cases, we select spinal anesthesia. Because the surgery is achieved on a fixed charge, efficiency of pre-operative assessment should be done for the cost-cutting with shortening of perioperative period. Diseases including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc., must be controlled before admission to the hospital. With these considerations, proper pre-operative assessment can be made.
