ABSTRACT

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) represents a hereditary hemoglobinopathy resulting from a genetic mutation of the Β-globin gene on chromosome 11. The mutant Β-allele codes for the production of the variant, hemoglobin S (HbS). The SCA is a severe pathology characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, repetitive episodes of vaso-oclussion crisis and multiple organic disturbance. Cholelithiasis is common due to chronic hemolysis and hyperbilirubinemia. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the recommended surgical technique in the treatment of cholelithiasis. We report a case of patient with SCA, cholelithiasis and the accuracy of pulse oximetry in the non-invasive monitoring of oxygenation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
