After cleaning with an antiseptic solution and application of local anaesthetic a very fine needle is introduced into the fluid surrounding the nerves below the spinal cord. Local anaesthetics and/or opioids are placed into this fluid, which then numbs the lower half of your body to allow the surgery to be pain free.
