Indications for spinal anesthesia include surgery involving the lower limbs, cardiac disease, liver disease, total hip replacement, total knee replacement, hysterectomy, caesarean section, hernia, renal failure and obstetric anesthesia. There are many different types of spinal needles with varying designs and tip geometry.
