Anesthetic management of a patient with a giant goiter undergoing hip arthroplasty: A case report

This case demonstrates spinal anesthesia's efficacy in patients with giant goiters undergoing non-thyroid surgery, particularly when airway risks preclude general anesthesia. Success relied on interdisciplinary collaboration, preoperative optimization, and tailored pharmacology. Future research should explore standardized protocols for non-compliant patients and optimal adjunctive drug regimens in spinal anesthesia for high-risk populations.
