Edwards Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies, including cardiovascular defects, respiratory issues, and musculoskeletal deformities, posing significant challenges in perioperative care. Key considerations include a comprehensive preoperative evaluation focusing on cardiovascular and respiratory assessments, such as echocardiography and pulmonary function tests. Intraoperative management requires advanced monitoring to maintain hemodynamic stability and tailored anesthetic techniques to ensure adequate ventilation and fluid balance. Multimodal analgesia strategies are essential for adequate pain control while minimizing respiratory depression. Postoperative care involves close monitoring in an intensive care setting to manage potential complications. The article emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, integrating the expertise of anesthesiologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, and surgeons to address the complex needs of these patients and achieve optimal surgical outcomes.</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><kwd>cardiovascular defects</kwd><kwd> respiratory issues</kwd><kwd> musculoskeletal deformities</kwd><kwd> spinal surgery</kwd><kwd> multidisciplinary approach</kwd><kwd> hemodynamic stability</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement>No grants from public, commercial, or non-profit funding agencies supported the research, authorship, or publication of this article.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><sec sec-type="data-availability"><title>Data Availability</title><p>There are no data available for sharing in this work.</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.</p></sec><sec sec-type="author-contributions"><title>Authors&#x2019; Contributions</title><p>The author confirms sole responsibility for all stages of the study, including design, data collection, analysis, and manuscript writing</p></sec><sec sec-type="funding-statement"><title>Funding Statement</title><p>No grants from public, commercial, or non-profit funding agencies supported the research, authorship, or publication of this article.</p></sec><sec sec-type="software-information"><title>software-information</title><p>This study does not pertain to any software or tools usage</p></sec><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>My gratitude goes to those who assisted in this study and manuscript preparation, and to the anonymous reviewers for their constructive insights.</p></ack><ref-list content-type="authoryear"><ref id="1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>-</p></element-citation></ref></ref-list></back></article>
