Saddle block anesthesia is a form of low spinal anesthesia distributed chiefly to the perineal area. A technique is described for producing prolonged anesthesia and analgesia by using nupercaine. The block was used in 136 normal cases with gratifying results. The ease and simplicity of induction, the safety allowed by the low dosage of drug, and the exact localization of the distribution of anesthesia make the use of this block the technique of choice where spinal anesthesia is preferred or desired in obstetrics. The method is worthy of further use and clinical trial.
