Abstract:
A retrospective chart review was conducted on 241 oncology patients who received monitored anesthesia care for laparoscopy. A review of perioperative analgesic and sedative requirements, and perioperative complications is included. The authors conclude that laparoscopy for diagnostic and staging purposes can be accomplished successfully with monitored anesthesia care.
