Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Combined spinal and general anesthesia vs general anesthesia for robotic sacrocervicopexy: a randomized controlled trial.
Gynecologic laparoscopic surgery is frequently accompanied by early postoperative pain. This study assessed the effect of combined general and spinal anesthesia on postoperative pain score, analgesic use, and patient satisfaction following robotic surgeries. ⋯ Reported levels of pain and analgesic use during the first 24 h following robotic gynecologic surgery were significantly lower following general and spinal anesthesia compared to general anesthesia alone.
