Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To detect the effect of HSR (hip width divided to shoulder width) on the spread of spinal anesthesia with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine at lateral position. The hip width is measured between two iliac crests and th shoulder width between the two acromion processes of the patients by a tape measure at sitting position on a horizontal operating table. the spread o spinal anesthesia is assessed by pinprick discrimination starting from the anesthetized region upwards cranially at midaxillary line till the feeling changed from dullness to sharp pain.[5,10,20 and 30 minutes after intrathecal injection of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine]
