Abstract

The advantages obtained in vaginal surgery and caesarean section using spinal anesthesia led us to test this anesthesia to verify feasibility, problems and advantages in abdominal surgery. Spinal anesthesia was performed in 60 patients between 21 and 87 years of age. Thirty-seven total abdominal hysterectomies with or without adnexectomy, 5 laparotomic miomectomies, 3 adnexectomies, 5 colposacropexies, 2 hysterectomies with lymphadenectomy, 7 Burch colposuspension with or without hysterectomy and l laparoscopy for sterilization were performed. No significant problems during surgery and the postoperative period were observed Resumption of the different physiologic functions were more rapid, hospital stay shorter and compliance greater than with general anesthesia.
