BACKGROUND: @entity1343 0.5% and @entity1341 0.5% were shown to be equally effective in spinal anaesthesia. In previous studies, low dose @entity1341 with an intrathecal opioid was used successfully in urological surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and block quality of low dose @entity1343 , and compare it with low dose @entity1341 when they are combined with @entity3575 in transurethral resection of prostate surgery. METHODS: Forty nine @entity1 undergoing transurethral prostate surgery were enrolled in this prospective, randomized and double blind study. @entity1 in @entity1343 group received 5 mg @entity1343 + 25  g @entity3575 and @entity1341 group received 5 mg @entity1341 + 25  g @entity3575 . Demographic data, surgery times, hemodynamic parameters, block qualities and @entity1 and surgeon satisfactions were recorded. RESULTS: Demographic data, surgery times and @entity1 and surgeon satisfactions were similar in both groups. Hemodynamic parameters were comparable and stable during the procedure in both groups. Sensory block characteristics were comparable and clinically effective in both groups. While 3 @entity1 in @entity1341 group had Bromage score of 3 at the beginning of the surgery, no @entity1 in @entity1343 group had this score and this difference was significant (p = 0.042). Bromage scores at the end of the surgery were comparable in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, for transurethral prostate surgery 5 mg @entity1343 with 25  g @entity3575 can provide stable hemodynamic profile, @entity1 and surgeon satisfaction and effective sensorial blockade with less motor blockade in spinal anaesthesia; so it could be used at low doses as a good alternative to @entity1341 .

Low dose XXXX 0.5% with @entity3575 in spinal anaesthesia for transurethral resection of prostate surgery.
