Use of laryngeal mask in combination with gastric intubation permitted anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a female patient with disseminated osteochondrosis of the spine, expected difficult intubation, manifest polyvalent allergy, neurocirculatory dystonia of the hypertensive type, and high myopia. The risk of anesthesia was higher than surgical risk because of manifest concomitant diseases and aggravated anesthesiologic anamnesis. The operation was effective, anesthesia involved no complications, hemodynamics and gas exchange were stable, the patient awakened on the operation table and after recovery of adequate spontaneous respiration and muscular tone was transferred to resuscitation ward.
