Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication with Baska Mask^® laryngeal mask

Tracheal intubation has historically been considered the ideal technique to handle the airway in laparoscopic surgical procedures. The introduction of such procedures in ambulatory surgery requires the use of anesthetic techniques that offer optimal and early postoperative recovery under strict security conditions. Laryngeal mask is proposed as a suitable alternative to tracheal intubation, even in high risk patients due to new devices which have been modified to improve their characteristics, becoming great alternatives in the overall management of the airway. We report the first case of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication performed with a laryngeal Baska Mask in patient with high risk of regurgitation due to its gastroesophageal reflux.
