Title: Spinal or epidural with a history of Psoas Abscess
Post by: yogenbhatt1 on May 11, 2010, 02:23:30 AM
Hi,
Got a case posted for LSCS elective. As a routine we do all LSCS under SAB.
She was operated for Psoas Abscess 6 years back. The site was L1- L2. Post OP X-ray is now clear, All tests are normal.
How safe will be spinal for her.? She is short and obese.
What about legal implications?
