Comparison of combined spinal-epidural versus general anesthesia with epidural catheter on postoperative quality of recovery after abdominal hysterectomy: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to evaluate the effect of combined spinal-epidural (CSE) anesthesia versus general anesthesia with an epidural catheter (GE) on the quality of postoperative recovery in abdominal hysterectomy patients. The recovery outcomes were assessed using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) scale.

Methods

This prospective, single-center observational study included 87 female patients (aged 18-75 years). Their ASA physical status varied from I to III, and they had a planned elective abdominal hysterectomy scheduled. We divided them into two groups based on the type of anesthesia administered: the CSE group and the GE group. The primary outcome consisted of the total QoR-15 score we measured 24 h after the operation. Among the secondary outcomes were the incidence of p
