Anesthetic techniques for pharyngeal flap surgery: effects on postoperative complications.
To assess the effects of 2 different anesthetic techniques on early complications after superior pharyngeal flap surgery. ⋯ When compared with isoflurane administration for maintenance of general anesthesia, propofol-based anesthesia was associated with more rapid mental and psychomotor recovery. However, airway-related complications and "home readiness" were similar between the groups.
