Both general and regional anesthetic techniques have been successfully used for cholecystectomy in pregnant patients.

This report enumerates the perioperative issues relating to anesthesia given to a pregnant patient in addition to emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary approach when such a case is encountered.
