[Hypobaric spinal anesthesia in a large ventral hernia].

We present the case of a patient with a large supraumbilical hernia with high risk of difficult airway and respiratory complications, who went through HSA. The patient did not report pain or dyspnea during the surgical procedure thus, HSA at low doses is an option to be taken into account in high abdominal wall surgery despite not having been described for this use.
