We present 2 cases of unilateral pulmonary edema. The physiology of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion in relation to positioning for a urological operation is discussed. The lateral decubitus position can compromise down lung mechanics and result in unilateral pulmonary edema in situations when volume overload exists.Entities:
