No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Most minor perianal surgeries are performed as day-case procedures requiring rapid recovery and effective symptom control. Saddle block anesthesia (SBA) provides reliable perineal anesthesia with minimal hemodynamic and motor effects, promoting faster recovery than general anesthesia. However, the duration of sitting after intrathecal injection influences anesthetic spread, and the optimal sitting time to balance adequate anesthesia with early discharge remains unclear.

Conditions

  • Saddle Block Anesthesia
  • Readiness of Discharge
  • Quality of Recovery (QoR-15)

Interventions

OTHER

8-min sitting duration after SBA

Patients will remain seated for 8 min after local anesthetic injection

OTHER

5-min sitting duration after SBA

Patients will remain seated for 5 min after local anesthetic injection
