Sickle cell anaemia is a haemoglobinopathy with an autosomal recessive inheritance. With the advent of advanced medical care, longevity of patients with sickle-cell disease has improved greatly. Our aim is to highlight the perioperative strategies to avoid complications due to the disease itself which can get exacerbated by moderate-high risk surgeries, hypoxia, dehydration, hypothermia, acidosis, vascular stasis and infection.
Keywords: Sickle cell anaemia, Perioperative management, Cholecystectomy.
