generally chosen. Local anesthetic dose requirement varies greatly in this case. Hyperbaric
local anesthetic solution will be collected at the dependent part of the vertebrae and cause
inadequate block.
In this case the identification of the lumbar intervertebral space is difficult. Administration of
spinal anesthesia chosen because the technique is simple, faster onset, better quality
anesthesia compared to epidural anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia is generally not performed at a
level above L2-3 to prevent injury to the spinal cord. However, lumbar intervertebral space
difficult to identify these patients and so do the intervertebral Th12-L1. Spinal needle used
size 25G so that the identification ligametum flavum and dura mater layer is more easily felt
to avoid injury to the spinal cord. Intrathecal administration of morphine adjuvant may
provide analgesia in the upper segment that may not be affordable due to the curvature of the
vertebral abnormalities and also provides analgesia for up to 24 hours post-surgery.
Conclusion
Carefully giving spinal anesthesia performed in the intervertebral space above L2-3,
especially in cases where the lumbar intervertebral space could not be identified properly.
