Statistics are presented as mean (standard deviation), median (interquartile range), or N/total number of patients (%) as appropriate. , CLSB group compared with SA group. ADL, activity of daily living; CLSB, combined lumbar and sacral plexus block; POD, postoperative day; PONV, postoperative nausea and vomiting; SA, spinal anesthesia. Grade of PONV: 1^a, no nausea or vomiting; 2^a, mild nausea and vomiting without no vomitus; 3^a, severe nausea and vomiting with vomited matter.
