RESUMEN
A 55-year-old woman who had undergone esophagectomy 3 months earlier developed a huge post-intubation laryngeal granuloma. She was scheduled for emergency microlaryngosurgery. Anesthesia was induced with 8% sevoflurane in oxygen under spontaneous respiration. After confirming no airway compromise, the spontaneous respiration was obtunded by forced manual ventilation without using a muscle relaxant. The trachea was intubated easily with an endotracheal tube. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide supplemented with intravenous fentanyl. The granuloma removed was 11 x 8 mm in diameter. There were no respiratory complications during and after anesthesia and surgery.
