Patient Satisfaction With Different Anesthesia Types in Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Compared with LA, patients who underwent reconstruction with IV experienced significantly lower intraprocedural anxiety; however, the IVG experienced greater anxiety in the postoperative period. Despite this difference in anxiety, no significant difference was demonstrated in overall satisfaction. In conclusion, with patients undergoing a high anxiety procedure, it is important to tailor the treatment plan to decrease anxiety.
