About this study

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial that will examine the use of ropivacaine in the spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing elective 1- or 2-level lower spine surgery. This study aims to: * Determine the rates of eligibility, recruitment, consent, and attrition * Determine the acceptability among patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses of doing spine surgery under spinal anesthesia * Gather preliminary data on outcomes relevant to a future dose-finding study Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: * General anesthesia with endotracheal tube * Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine * Spinal anesthesia with ropivacaine
