Anesthesia without Muscle Relaxants in an Infant with Prune Belly Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

Prune Belly syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the absence of abdominal muscles, urinary system anomalies, and undescended testes. In this case, an 8-month-old male patient with PBS underwent laparoscopic orchiopexy, and anesthesia management was carefully planned to maintain respiratory and cardiovascular stability. The avoidance of muscle relaxants during anesthesia minimized postoperative complication risks and facilitated a rapid recovery for the patient.
