Abstract: 

Pelvic retroperitoneal schwannommas are rare entities that are characterized by slow growth, are oligosymptomatic, and diagnosis of the advanced stage is through compressive symptons of nearby structures, which is a challenge for surgical treatment, anesthetic management and pain control. We present the case of a 57-year-old patient with lumbosacral schwannoma, who underwent multimodal opioid-sparing anesthesia, based on intravenous lidocaine infusion, with two operative times totaling 14 hours of surgery, and its evolution and pain management after intervention. The anesthetic planning, individualizing the patient’s needs, is the focus for a better outcome.
