Implication

Observational study confirms thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia offers effective regional anesthesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, suggesting reduced complications.

Key Points

Thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia was successful in 100% of patients, enhancing comfort during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The sensory block reached T4 level within approximately 5 minutes, with a high satisfaction rate reported by patients (75.7%) and surgeons (71.35%).
Patients received a low dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine (1.5 ml of 0.5%) for anesthesia, highlighting the efficiency of this method.
The incidence of hypotension (11.45%) and bradycardia (6.7%) was managed effectively, indicating good safety measures during surgery.
