286 Saudi Journal of Anesthesia / Volume 17 / Issue 2 / April-June 2023 Dear Editor, The most recent issue of the Saudi Journal of Anesthesia provides extremely useful insights into the intricacies of bariatric anesthesia.[1] However, the ever‐evolving nature of our specialty calls for a constant acknowledgement of newer emerging concepts. The aforementioned is exemplified by the present‐day concept of an opioid‐free anesthesia (OFA), the latter gaining impetus by virtue of an increasing embracement of the non‐opioid analgesics and innovative regional techniques.[2] Withstanding the same, elaboration on the scope of OFA for the obese would be an appropriate extension of the discussion on bariatric anesthesia, resonating well with the Journal’s readership.
