Anaesthesia for Renal Surgery

Abstract

The patients pre-existing renal function and any other co-morbidities must be considered when planning anaesthesia for renal surgery. Invasive monitoring may be required. Positioning of the patient may lead to cardiovascular and respiratory changes. The possibility of major haemorrhage should always be remembered. Open operations on the kidney are painful and epidural analgesia should be used where possible.
