The anesthetic problems during minimal access surgery 
are related to the cardiopulmonary effects of pneumoperitoneum, carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption, extraperitoneal 
gas insufflation, venous embolism, and inadvertent injuries 
to intra­abdominal organs. Optimal anesthetic care of 
patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery is very much 
important. Good anesthetic techniques facilitate riskfree surgery and allow early detection and reduction of 
complications.
In young patients, fit for diagnostic laparoscopy, general 
anesthesia is the preferred method and does not impose 
any increased risk. Adequate anesthesia and analgesia 
are essential and endotracheal intubation and controlled 
ventilation should be considered. The pneumoperitoneum 
can be created safely under local anesthesia provided that 
the patient is adequately sedated throughout the procedure. 
For successful laparoscopy under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) medication for sedation should be given.
