Brief Summary   This is a randomized, prospective, placebo controlled, parallel group study comparing general anesthesia alone with general anesthesia and 'add on' low dose spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair.The primary outcome measures will be intra operative and post operative fentanyl sparing effect of spinal anesthesia, and effect on quality of recovery.Secondary outcome measures will be intra operative hemodynamic stability and post operative nausea and vomiting.Patients will be followed for 24 hours post operatively.All patients will have access to a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device which they can activate to get bolus doses of IV fentanyl.
