Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the effects of different anaesthesia methods (spinal anaesthesia and general anaesthesia) administered to frail elderly patients scheduled for transurethral surgery (e.g. TUR-Prostate or TUR-Bladder) on postoperative morbidity and mortality rates.
Detailed Description:
When planning transurethral surgery in frail patients, optimising the anaesthesia method is critical in minimising perioperative risks. In a 2021 study by Darwish et al. (1), 28,486 TUR-P cases were grouped according to the selected anaesthesia method. The 30-day mortality rate was 0.4% in the neuroaxial anaesthesia (spinal/epidural) group and 0.7% in the general anaesthesia group; the neuroaxial anaesthesia group showed significantly better outcomes in terms of secondary morbidity rates such as mortality and sepsis. However, there are studies in the literature supporting general anaesthesia. A study by Ayoub et al. (4) emphasised that in frail patients, similar morbidity rates can be achieved with general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia; spinal anaesthesia may increase the risk of hypotension and bradycardia. Based on these studies, the selection of the appropriate anaesthesia method for transurethral procedures is of critical importance in terms of patient morbidity and mortality rates. This study aims to contribute to clinical guidelines by clarifying which type of anaesthesia is safer in this specific demographic and clinical group. Within the scope of the research, parameters such as complications associated with the anaesthesia method, length of hospital stay, readmission rate, and 30-day mortality are analysed with the aim of determining the most appropriate and safest anaesthesia method for the vulnerable patient group.
