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.
