This case series study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Segmental Spinal Anaesthesia (SSA) in ASA 1 & 2 patients undergoing a variety of routine surgeries. A total of 115 cases were analyzed, with patients ranging in age from 18 to 80 years, and a male-to-female ratio of 37:63. The study assessed the intervertebral space used and the drugs administered for each surgery, along with monitoring sensory anesthesia, motor block, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), urinary retention, respiratory depression, hemodynamic changes, shoulder tip pain, abdominal discomfort, conversion to general anesthesia (GA),time to mobilization  and postoperative analgesia requirements.
