ABSTRACT
We present the case of a successful application of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for a geriatric patient undergoing open cancer surgery. The patient, affected by multiple comorbidities, was proposed for an open anterior rectal resection. The implementation of a tailored protocol, incorporating neuraxial techniques such as epidural and spinal anesthesia, facilitated optimal pain management and expedited postoperative recovery improving perioperative outcomes, and highlighting the potential benefits of such strategies in selected cases.
