Spinal versus general anesthesia in gynecologic laparoscopy: A prospective, randomized study

To compare spinal anesthesia (SA) with general anesthesia (GA) in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery regarding anesthetic parameters and patient satisfaction together with an assessment of total oxidant, antioxidant levels, and Oxidative Stress index (OSI). Sixty patients who were planned to undergo gynecologic laparoscopy were randomized into group G (GA) and group S (SA). Demographics, adverse events and anesthetic parameters were recorded before induction, after induction, and at the 5 , 10 , 15 , 30 , 60 , 90 , and 120 minutes. Patients and surgeons completed questionnaires. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant level (TOL), and OSI were measured. There was no difference between the groups in terms of hemodynamic parameters except heart rate at 30 minute and mean arteral pressure at 10 , 15 , 30 , and 60 minute (p
