Brief Summary   We conducted a randomized Comparative study in 60 ASA 1 patients undergoing lower Abdominal  or lower Extremity surgery, divided into 2 groups 30 of each, LF and RF. Group LF was given Intrathecal Levobupivacaine 15mg+ Fentanyl 25mcg. Group RF was given Intrathecal Ropivacaine 22.5mg+ Fentanyl 25mcg. We compared the onset and duration of sensory block as well as motor block, duration of analgesia, hemodynamic stability and side effects. We found that Levobupivacaine had faster onset as well as longer duration of both sensory and motor block and longer duration of analgesia also with comparable hemodynamics. So we recommend the use of Intrathecal Levobupivacaine combined with Fentanyl for lower Abdominal And Lower Extremity surgeries.
