Background: General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation has remained the most common technique used for open renal surgeries because of the abnormal body position and its ability to control the diaphragmatic movement during the surgery. Combined spinal and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) can be used as alternative technique for open renal surgery, where spinal anesthesia provides fast and reliable to start the surgery and the duration of anesthesia can be extended with a catheter in the paravertebral space. Aim of the work: To compare general anesthesia versus combined spinal/paravertebral block in patients undergoing open renal surgeries Patients and methods: The patients were classified according to anesthetic technique into two groups as follow: Group I: include 50 patients received combined spinal/ paravertebral block. Group II: include 50 patients received general anesthe.. View More»
