Impact of anesthesia type on postoperative pain and outcomes in primary hip and knee arthroplasty: a retrospective register analysis
When analyzed retrospectively, the type of anesthesia applied is not associated with an increased risk of postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, or prolonged hospital stay. Overall, neither anesthesia method outperforms the other concerning patient satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of patient preference and individual risk factors in the decision-making process.
