Spinal anesthesia is a reliable and safe technique for perianal surgeries; the changing trend of surgical practice from an inpatient to outpatient has urged us to use lower dose of local anesthetic providing segmental block with adjuvants such as opioids. Ropivacaine is a long acting; amide local anesthetic, with greater sensory motor differentiation. Chloroprocaine (CP) is an amino-ester local anesthetic with a very short half-life. This study was designed to compare CP with ropivacaine for spinal anesthesia in an elective ambulatory setting.
