Perioperative hiccup mystery: A comprehensive case report.

Persistent hiccups in the perioperative setting, although uncommon, can substantially impact a patient's wellbeing and recovery after surgery. We present a case of a 51-year-old male who developed persistent hiccups during total knee replacement surgery under neuraxial anaesthesia. The hiccups persisted postoperatively, leading to multidisciplinary interventions, including the introduction of central-acting muscle relaxant, baclofen.
