Intrathecal Dexamethasone in Patients Undergoing Transuretheral Prostatectomy.
Description:
Spinal anesthesia for endoscopic urology surgery like transurethral resection of the prostate
is a well-established technique. Opioids are extensively used as an adjunct to local
anesthetics in neuraxial blockade to enhance the duration of postoperative analgesia.
However, worrisome adverse effects like pruritus, urinary retention, postoperative vomiting
and respiratory depression limit its use. The aim of this study was to investigate the
effectiveness of Intrathecal dexamethasone as adjunct to local anesthetics.
