UROGYNECOLOGY: Rectocele repair/General or spinal anesthesiaFrom: caitcon (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 18 Aug 2007 10:53:05 -0500 (CDT)
Hi, I had cystocele/TOT sling and tubaligation in May 2007. I was given General Anesthesia. I am scheduled for rectocele repair in two weeks. I have two anesthesia opions for my repair this time, either General or Spinal. During my last surgery I was experiencing difficulties in the recovery room. For a period of about 45 minutes (starting about 35 minutes after surgery) they had trouble keeping my vitals stable. For at least 30 minutes my bloodpressure was around 60/30 and my oxygen saturation between 76-82%. After about 45 minutes they were able to keep my oxygen above 90 and my bloodpressure slowly started to increase. I remember that the nurse told me at one point that some people keep the anesthesia medicine in their fatty tissue longer than other and then release it all at once, and that is why I was not doing so well for a while. Now my question, given that this happened in the recovery room, would my risks of this happening again be smaller by using spinal anesthesia? I am leaning towards general again, but would consider a spinal if less problems occur. Any input would be appreciated....
