    Summary

    Epidural anesthesia is a safe and effective anesthetic option for various urologic surgeries, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities. Maintaining the anesthetic level below the 9-10th dermatome is crucial for preventing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Urology

    Context:

    • Analysis of 1483 cases of epidural anesthesia application in urologic surgery.
    • Epidural anesthesia is indicated for procedures such as transvesical adenomectomy, transurethral electroresection of prostatic adenoma, and renal/ureteral lithotripsy.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the indications, safety, and efficacy of epidural anesthesia in urologic operations.
    • To identify patient populations and procedural parameters where epidural anesthesia offers advantages.

    Summary:

    • Epidural anesthesia is beneficial for elderly patients with respiratory and circulatory conditions.
    • It offers protection against transurethral resection syndrome and coagulation disorders.
    • Safe application requires maintaining the anesthetic level at or below the 9-10th dermatome.

    Impact:

    • Provides a safe anesthetic option for urologic procedures, especially in high-risk patients.
    • Highlights the importance of dermatome level control to minimize complications.
    • Offers strategies for hemodynamic stabilization and improved blood status to enhance safety.
