Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  General anaesthesia   Patients will receive general anaesthesia with IV induction agents (Propofol, Etomidate, or Ketamine), Fentanyl, Midazolam, and IV muscle relaxants. They will then be attached to a ventilator with maintenance inhalational anaesthesia using Sevoflurane throughout the surgery. All intraoperative vitals, ventilator settings, intake-output charting, and the total amount of drugs used will be noted. 
Intervention  Thoracic segmental spinal anaesthesia   Patients will receive thoracic spinal anaesthesia in the form of an intrathecal injection with preservative-free isobaric levobupivacaine 0.5% and preservative-free fentanyl, resulting in segmental spinal anaesthesia desired at the T6–T12 level. Additionally, intraoperative vitals, intake-output charting, and the total amounts of drugs used for anaesthesia and analgesia will be noted.
