Abstract

Аnesthetic management of cesarean section in pregnant women with severe kyphoscoliosis is quite debatable. It is believed that kyphoscoliosis is a contraindication to neuraxial anesthesia methods. The article presents a successful experience of spinal anesthesia in pregnant women with severe kyphoscoliosis. Authors believe that spinal anesthesia can be successfully performed in pregnant women with severe kyphoscoliosis – paramedian access at the L5–S1 level, due to the anatomical features of these vertebrae.
