Spinal anesthesia is one of type of central block anesthesia. It is an anesthesia of choice for surgical procedure open prostatectomy. According to our experience this type of anaesthesia is more safe than the other type of central block or regional anaesthesia in a high risk patient for surgical procedure prostatectomy. In a 10 years period we have given in a 242
patients spinal anaesthesia for prostatectomy. From the complication after giving of spinal anaesthesia according to our data
were: 1. post-spinal head-ake (3-5 days) - 5 patients; 2. post-spinal head-ake (vp to 3 days) - 6 patients; 3. paraparesis (to
36 h) - 1 patients; 4. local pain on the back - 1 patients; 5. CVI - 1 patients; 6. MI - 1 patients; 7. mortality rate - 0. We can
conclude that spinal anaesthesia is one of anaesthesia of choice for prostatectomy.
