    Abstract

    Spinal anesthesia is a common technique used for lower limb surgery. It is a safe and effective procedure that provides excellent analgesia and avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia. However, despite its benefits, spinal anesthesia can fail in some cases, leading to the need for conversion to general anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia has become an increasingly popular technique for lower limb surgery due to its effectiveness and safety. This procedure involves the injection of a local anesthetic into the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord, resulting in a temporary loss of sensation and muscle movement in the lower body. While spinal anesthesia is generally safe, it is not always successful and may require conversion to general anesthesia. Failed spinal anesthesia can lead to increased anesthesia-related morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs.
