Abstract
Spinal anesthesia is a simple technique that provides a deep and fast surgical block through the injection of small doses of local anesthetic solution into the subarachnoid space. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview on recent developments on local anesthetic drugs, side effects, and special techniques of intrathecal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia can be considered adequately safe, and severe complications are reasonably rare. The cardiovascular effects associated with sympathetic block are more frequent, but successfully treated with volume expansion and administration of vasoactive drugs. It is clear that the total dose of local anesthetic injected into the subarachnoid space is the most important determinant of both therapeutic and unwanted effects of spinal anesthesia. Several studies have also demonstrated the efficacy and safety of using small doses of long acting agents, such as bupivacaine or ropivacaine, to produce an adequately short spinal block in outpatients. Levopivacaine, the pure S(-)-enantiomer of racemic bupivacaine showed a lower risk of cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS) toxicity than bupivacaine. In the last years we have assisted important changes in the health care organization, with most of the surgical procedures performed on outpatients or on elderly patients with concomitant diseases. This forced us to change the indications and clinical use of intrathecal anesthesia techniques, which have been modified according to the changing needs of surgery. The development of new drugs and special techniques for spinal anesthesia will further improve the clinical use of this old but evergreen technique.

Abstract
CONTEXT: Spinal anaesthesia has been reported as an alternative to general anaesthesia for performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). AIMS: Study aimed to evaluate efficacy, safety and cost benefit of conducting laparoscopic cholecystectomy under spinal anaesthesia (SA) in comparison to general anaesthesia(GA). SETTINGS AND DESIGN: A prospective, randomised study conducted over a two year period at an urban, non teaching hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients meeting inclusion criteria e randomised into two groups. Group A and Group B received general and spinal anaesthesia by standardised techniques. Both groups underwent standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Mean anaesthesia time, pneumoperitoneum time and surgery time defined primary outcome measures. Intraoperative events and post operative pain score were secondary outcome measure. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: The Student t test, Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher exact test. RESULTS: Out of 235 cases enrolled in the study, 114 cases in Group A and 110 in Group B analysed. Mean anaesthesia time appeared to be more in the GA group (49.45 vs. 40.64, P = 0.02) while pneumoperitoneum time and corresponding the total surgery time was slightly longer in the SA group. 27/117 cases who received SA experienced intraoperative events, four significant enough to convert to GA. No postoperative complications noted in either group. Pain relief significantly more in SA group in immediate post operative period (06 and 12 hours) but same as GA group at time of discharge (24 hours). No late postoperative complication or readmission noted in either group. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy done under spinal anaesthesia as a routine anaesthesia of choice is feasible and safe. Spinal anaesthesia can be recommended to be the anaesthesia technique of choice for conducting laparoscopic cholecystectomy in hospital setups in developing countries where cost factor is a major factor.
