Effect of Anesthesia Technique on Surgical View in Shoulder Arthroscopy

This prospective observational study evaluates the effect of the anesthesia method (general anesthesia versus regional anesthesia \[interscalene nerve block/superficial cervical block\] with sedation) on the operating clarity of the surgical view and the surgeon's satisfaction during elective shoulder arthroscopy. The study investigates how these different anesthesia techniques influence intraoperative conditions, specifically bleeding amounts and the visibility of the surgical field, which are critical for the success of this minimally invasive procedure. Additionally, the research will monitor patient-centered outcomes, including postoperative pain levels, recovery time, and potential side effects such as nausea or vomiting, to determine which anesthesia strategy provides the optimal balance of surgical efficiency and patient comfort.

Development of the Surgeon Satisfaction Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Shoulder Arthroscopy

This observational study aims to develop and validate the "Surgeon Satisfaction Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Shoulder Arthroscopy." The study involves conducting in-depth interviews with surgeons who perform shoulder arthroscopy to identify key factors influencing their surgical satisfaction, including individual, patient-related, and surgical equipment-related factors. Based on the insights gained from these interviews, a comprehensive questionnaire will be developed. The questionnaire will then undergo validation processes, including assessments of content, construct, criterion, and reliability, to ensure it accurately and consistently measures surgeon satisfaction. The final validated tool is intended to provide a reliable method for surgeons to self-assess their satisfaction with shoulder arthroscopy procedures, contributing to improved surgical practices and outcomes.
