Randomized Controlled Trial
Hyperbaric levobupivacaine in anal surgery : Spinal perianal and spinal saddle blocks.
An ideal anesthetic technique for anal surgery on an outpatient basis should permit early mobilization without pain or residual complications of anesthesia. The aim of this study was to analyze the reliability and efficacy of spinal perianal and spinal saddle block by using two different doses of levobupivacaine for perianal surgery and their effects on voiding, first analgesic requirement and hospital discharge times. ⋯ The results of the study showed that the use of 1.5 mg hyperbaric levobupivacaine provides sufficient and satisfactory anesthesia in ambulatory perianal surgery.
