th hours and 7 th day of the operation. Results: Most of our patients were from Marmara (24.6%) and the Black Sea region (22, 9%). Patient satisfaction from spinal anesthesia was significantly high (n: 171; 72, 5%) (p<0.001). Most common minor complications were nausea and vomiting for 63 patients (26, 7%) and low back pain for 52 patients (20, 1%). Conclusion: Patients questioned for their spinal anesthesia experience showed wide variations about their approach to their own minor complications and their expression of satisfaction. Patient satisfaction is affected by several factors and remains in a conceptual confusion. We believe that, if a more extensive and actual information is given to patients prior to regional anesthesia intervention, this can reduce confusion and improve patient satisfaction.
