Overview
Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed today.It is important to perform the surgical procedure under regional anesthesia to prevent intraoperative complications due to general anesthesia.After shoulder surgery, providing adequate analgesia is necessary for both the comfort of the patient and the ability to perform the necessary post-operative rehabilitation exercises early and regularly.
Nerve blocks reduces opioid consumption in the postoperative period by providing better pain control and therefore has advantages such as fewer side effects and less risk of pulmonary and cardiac complications.
In this study; it was aimed to compare postoperative pain scores, patient satisfaction and surgeon satisfaction in patients who were operated under general anesthesia or who underwent shoulder arthroscopy while awake under regional anesthesia
