About Spinal And Epidural Anesthesia

Spinal anesthesia is a form of regional anesthesia that involves injection of the anesthetic agent adjacent to the spinal cord or just outside it using a long needle. This renders the portion of the body beyond or below(as the case maybe) the point of injection numb and anaesthetized, while the rest of the body remains unanaesthetised.

The injection is usually administered in the lumbar (low back) spine. This form of anesthesia is easy to be administered and is ideally suited for surgeries performed in the lower parts of the body.
