This article reviews anesthetic management of lapa- roscopic lower gastrointestinal tract surgery. The recommended anesthetic method is general anesthesia, and tracheal intubation is an appropriate airway control method. It is important to understand hemodynamics and respiratory changes with pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position during operation, especially in a patient with compromised cardiopulmonary functions. It is necessary to consider postoperative analge- sic method. An'enhanced recovery after surgery program may be useful to laparoscopic lower gastrointestinal tract surgery.
