Brief Summary

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most common surgical intervention for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. TURP is mostly applied to elderly patients with hypertension and problems with breathing, circulation system, and kidney functions; therefore, it becomes very important to keep a stable anesthesia that will minimize the hemodynamic differences in these patients. General anesthesia causes more hemodynamic differences than regional anesthesia. Thus, regional anesthesia is highly preferable in TURP applications.

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • mean arterial blood pressure

    24 hours

Study Arms (2)

spinal group

EXPERIMENTAL

12.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine (2.5 ml) was given at the level of L4-5 interspaces after the free flow confirming of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF),immediately positioned supine with one pillow supporting the head and shoulders.

Drug: spinal anesthesia

saddle block group

EXPERIMENTAL

12.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine (2.5 ml) was given at the level of L4-5 interspaces after the free flow confirming of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF),placed in the sitting position for ten minutes and then supine with one pillow supporting the head and shoulders.

Drug: saddle block
