Brief Summary   Spinal anesthesia is a very old and popular technique. It is a safe and effective form of regional anesthesia that can be used as an alternative to general anesthesia in surgery. Vaginal hysterectomy is one such lower abdominal surgery which commonly involves the use of spinal anesthesia. Thus, in order to further improve and understand the safety issues as well as clinical use of spinal anesthesia in vaginal hysterectomies, new local anesthetics are being investigated for different applications. 
Ropivacaine is relatively new aminoamide local anesthetic agent similar in chemical structure to Bupivacaine and has been little studied in that application. Early evaluation of the drug included few studies which stated cardiotoxicity and CNS toxicity of Ropivacaine is less as compared to Bupivacaine. But the potency of Ropivacaine is less than Bupivacaine therefore its duration and intensity will also be proportionately less as experimented in lower limb surgeries. 
Considering that relatively few studies have been conducted to compare the potency and toxicity of hyperbaric Ropivacaine with hyperbaric Bupivacaine in lower abdominal surgeries, we planned to conduct a study comprising Ropivacaine 0.75% hyperbaric with Bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy under subarachnoid blockade.
