Abstract

Background: Outpatient operations are increasingly becoming popular due to a reduction in costs through occupation of fewer hospital beds, minimizing the possibility of hospital-acquired infections; and for the positive effects on patient psychology. Therefore, spinal anesthesia is an acceptable option in surgery for outpatients, as it has a short anesthesia start time, provides an adjustable anesthesia level, postoperative analgesia and early recovery.
