Experience with anesthesia for cesarean sections in a small obstetric and gynecology clinic attached to a general hospital is reported. The course of cases and the particular circumstances are described. During a period of 11 years 721 cesarean sections were performed, 643 (90%) under hyperbaric spinal anesthesia. ⋯ There were no severe complications or deaths related to anesthesia. Some important points related to spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections are mentioned. The results show that with attention to detail and observation of correct procedures by qualified anesthetists, the vast majority of cesarean sections can be done very successfully under spinal anesthesia.
