Effect of Spinal Anesthesia by Prilocaine 2% versus Lidocaine 2% and Bupivacaine 0.5% in Day-Case Lower Abdominal Surgery Outcome

Abstract

Background: Ambulatory anesthesia and surgery have attracted growing interest in the past few years, and consequently the number of drugs available for outpatient spinal anesthesia has increased. Therefore, a rapid improvement from anesthesia, resulting in an early release, and fast resumption of on daily basis activities, could be of great benefit to patients, surgeons, and hospital stay [1].
