Microsoft Excel 2013 was used for data analysis. Frequacy and percentage wereused to present categorical varibales and mean+standard deviation for numerical variables.Results: There was a rapid onset of Sensory and motor blocks in neostigmine group, 3.9+2.5minutes for sensory block and 5.8+2.3 minutes for motor block versus 9.3+2.2 minutes and13.3+2.0 minutes respectively in control group. The time of recovery of sensory and motorblocks was delayed in neostigmine group as compared to the control group patients. Thesurgeons agreed that the anesthesia was perfect in 46 (92.0%) cases in neostigmine groupand in control group IVRA declared to be perfect in only 34 (68.0%) cases.
