Intrathecal fentanyl added to hyperbaric ropivacaine for transurethral resection of the prostate

Background:  Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of intrathecal fentanyl 25 µg added to 18 mg of 6 mg ml−1 hyperbaric ropivacaine on the characteristics of subarachnoid block and postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing TURP surgery.
