    BackgroundSystemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is increasingly valued for its simplicity and predictability. Anesthesia/analgesia technique may affect cancer survey.AimsThe primary aim of this study is to offer a comparative evaluation for the effect of different anesthesia/analgesia techniques employed in radical prostatectomy surgery on SII, a new inflammatory index.Patients And MethodsEighty-one patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2020, were included in the study. We recorded oncological demographic data of Group G (n = 45) and Group GE (n = 36), preoperative and postoperative (within the first 4 hrs and 24th hr) SII values, perioperative surgical bleeding, and amount of blood transfusion.ResultsDespite the lack of significant difference in the SII values between the groups, both the peak SII level and the SII change in the postoperative period became higher in Group G than in Group GE. In addition, the amount of surgical bleeding and blood transfusion was observed to be significantly lower in Group GE (P < 0.001, P = 0.092, respectively).ConclusionsGE in radical prostatectomy surgery in terms of SII, the SII change in the postoperative period was more pronounced in Group G. However, a significant difference was noted in surgical bleeding in Group GE. We can conclude that comparing the SII values of different anesthesia techniques with prospective studies might thus create a difference in survival and metastasis at the micro-level.
