    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • Spinal anesthesia has evolved significantly with new local anesthetics and improved understanding of its mechanisms.
    • Over 10,000 cases demonstrate its safety without neurologic complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-emphasize the clinical importance and safety of spinal anesthesia.
    • To highlight its favorable comparison with general anesthesia in high-risk surgical patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of over 10,000 clinical cases of spinal anesthesia.
    • Application of modernized techniques and newer local anesthetics (lidocaine, mepivacaine, bupivacaine).
    • Strict adherence to defined contraindications and limiting the spinal block to the D8 dermatome level.

    Main Results:

    • No neurologic complications were observed in over 10,000 cases.
    • Modernized spinal anesthesia is clinically significant and safe.
    • Favorable risk-benefit profile compared to general anesthesia for high-risk patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Spinal anesthesia is a viable and safe anesthetic method for high-risk patients.
    • Careful patient selection and technique refinement enhance spinal anesthesia safety and efficacy.
    • Modern spinal anesthesia offers a superior alternative to general anesthesia in specific patient populations.
