Abstract
March 2021 marked the first centenary of the publication of Fidel Pagés Miravé's seminal article Anestesia metamérica in the Revista Española de Cirugía. Pagés' knowledge of Bier and Tuffier's intradural (1889-1900) and Gil Vernet's sacral (1917-1918) techniques played a pivotal role in the development of the epidural anesthesia technique. Fidel Pagés' extensive experience with treating the casualties of armed conflicts, his proficiency in French and German, and his vast knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pharmacology lie behind the accuracy with which he describes the different approaches, the different anesthetic solutions, or the different instruments used, and the indications, contraindications and complications associated with his technique. In the centenary of his article, we would like to thank Fidel Pagés' for describing an anesthetic and analgesic technique that has improved the lives of so many patients.
