Laparoscopic gynecological surgery in an adult woman with Becker muscular dystrophy performed with sevoflurane with cisatracurium anesthesia: A case report

Therefore, the patient required surgery to address the symptoms and further confirm the diagnosis. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological analysis. Interventions: The patient was scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy.
