Ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia for prostate surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to give spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected in your back) for prostate surgery. It uses ultrasound to measure the fluid space around your spinal cord to find the right dose, which may make the anesthesia safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
