Abstract

Brachytherapy for gynaecological malignancies can be carried out, utilising one of the many modes of anaesthesia. The anesthetic conduct of such procedures comes with the daunting task of handling in a non-operating room/ remote location. We describe two patients posted for interstitial brachytherapy, conducted under regional anaesthesia, and explain the rationale behind formulating the above plan for procedure. With meticulous planning, and individualised approach for conduct of anesthesia, brachytherapy procedures can be performed with minimal anesthetic complications, whilst navigating the complications associated with remote location anesthesia.
