No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Spinal anesthesia (SA) is frequently used as anesthesia in many surgeries such as lower abdominal, inguinal, urogenital, rectal and lower extremities.

Conventional median approach (MA) is preferred more frequently, although MA or paramedian approach (PA) is used in SA. Especially in geriatric patients due to degenerative changes Although we are told that degenerative changes are less affected in PA during SA in the geriatric age group, few studies have been conducted on the subject and we aimed to evaluate the superiority of the two methods.
