Airway management and quadratus lumborum block for inguinal hernia
repair in context of Chromosome 4q deletion: A case report and
literature review
Abstract
Chromosome 4q Deletion Syndrome (4QDS) is a rare chromosomal deletion
that presents with various congenital defects that could affect
anesthetic management. We present a patient with known 4QDS who
underwent successful general anesthetic induction, tracheal intubation,
and subsequently, bilateral quadratus lumborum nerve blocks, during
laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery.
