Its origins trace back to 1898 in Germany, where the pioneering operation under this anesthesia method was performed by August Bier. This groundbreaking approach paved the way for modern anesthetic practices, and its influence continues to shape contemporary anesthesia techniques. Aim of the study: to recognize the incidence of PPDH in early mobility compare with non-mobile patient due to lower limb operation. Patient and method: cross sectional comparative study was conducted in Al-Fayeha Teaching Hospital, between the period from January 2023 to August 2023. The number of patients included in this study 60 divided in two group: Group A: group of c/s. Group B: lower limb operation. All the patient under two categories of ASA class I and II. All of them well received spinal anesthesia for their surgery. Results: the results of this study showed significant PPDH in those patient with c/s group A. wheal only two from 30 who they had lower limb surgery. And the p value<0.05 compare with group of c/s they had been suffered from PPDH from total number 30. Conclusion: there is significant PDPH in patient who mobilized early after surgery.
