ABSTRACT

Low-dose-spina-saddle-anesthesia is a safe and reliable technique in perianal surgery, which provides a reliable but restricted block with good surgical conditions. Chloroprocaine can be used safely in spinal anesthesia. It Intrathecal Fentanyl is an opiod agonist synergistic with local anesthetics and intensify the sensory block, to improve the quality of analgesia and minimize the requirement of postoperative analgesics. In this study we evaluated the effects of two different doses of fentanyl as an adjuvant to 1% Chloroprocaine under saddle block for perianal surgeries, and duration of stay in hospital. The objective is to evaluate the quality of analgesia, onset of sensory and motor block and duration of analgesia.
