the practitioners and the healthcare providers seek to contain costs by performing outpatient surgeries or minimally invasive procedures&#44; the number of surgeries performed in doctor&#39;s offices and primary care centres has increased&#44; with excellent profitability&#46; Cost-effectiveness has been truly favourable for patients and for the healthcare system alike&#46; However&#44; the role of the anaesthetist in minimally invasive surgery is still challenging because apparently &#8220;minor&#8221;

and which have not been reported in the literature but need to be known due to the risk they entail&#46; Perhaps it is quite right to quote here the phrase that &#8220;although there is minor surgery&#44;

shorter thyromental and mentosternal distance&#44; and decreased thyromental height&#44; increased neck circumference&#44; and obstructive airway anatomy&#44; all of which may come into play at the time of intubation&#44;

of obese patients may suffer from cardiovascular disease&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> All this is compounded by the fact that&#44; many times&#44; the anaesthetist sees the patient for the first time on the day of surgery and there has been no workup for the patient&#39;s comorbid conditions&#46;</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Management of sedation and general anaesthesia in these patients may be difficult&#44;
