Abstract
One hundred patients between 15-46 years, undergoing elective surgery, were given spinal anaesthesia using 29-gauge spinal needles introduced through a Tuohy needle with a fixation device. Successful spinal anaesthesia was achieved in 98%. A success rate of 100% was achieved when a combined spinal epidural technique was used. Ninety-eight percent of the patients would prefer the same anaesthesia procedure for similar kind of surgery in the future.
