Abstract
Both neuraxial anesthesia and general anesthesia are used for lower limb surgery. And because of the complications that occur with this type of surgery, we searched in this narrative review the effectiveness and safety of neuraxial anesthesia versus general anesthesia for lower limb surgery. We included randomized controlled trials comparing neuroaxial anesthesia (spinal or epidural anesthesia) versus general anesthesia in adults (35 years or older) with lower-limb surgery.
