The objective of this study is to evaluate the results of different anesthesia methods (general anesthesia with epidural catheter application and spinal anesthesia with epidural catheter application) applied in elective hysterectomy surgeries performed in our hospital. The aim is to compare the advantages of both methods.
The study was designed as a prospective observational study. The researchers participating in the study were not involved in administering any medications to the patients. A review of the patient records will result in the creation of two differentiated groups according to the anesthesia method administered: Group 1 will include patients who underwent general anesthesia with an epidural catheter, while Group 2 will include patients who underwent spinal anesthesia with an epidural catheter. The quality of recovery score will be evaluated using a 15-question scale both preoperatively and postoperatively. The researchers will evaluate quality of recovery using the 15-item Quality of Recovery scale (QoR-15).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Patients who received general anesthesia and an epidural catheter. |

| Group 2 | Patients who received spinal anesthesia and an epidural catheter. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Procedure | In patients undergoing a hysterectomy, an epidural catheter is placed via the L3-4 or L4-5 spinal space, followed by the application of a standardized general anesthesia protocol. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The Quality of Recovery (QoR-40) score in the first 24 hours after surgery | The recovery quality of patients will be assessed with the Quality of Recovery Score-15 (QoR-15), which will be administered at the 24th hour postoperatively. The QoR-15 is a questionnaire comprising 15 items, with each item scored on a scale of 0 to 10. The total score on the QoR-15 ranges between 0 and 150. | postoperative 24 hours |
| A comparison of the difference in recovery quality scores between patients at the preoperative and postoperative 24th hour. | The difference between the patients' preoperative QoR-15 score and the QoR-15 score measured at the 24th hour postoperatively will be evaluated. | postoperative 24 hours |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery | Opioid consumption in the first 24 hours will be measured. Patients will be able to request opioids via a PCA device when their NRS score ≥3. | postoperative 24 hours |
| The incidences of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) |

| Group 2 | Procedure | In patients undergoing hysterectomy, 15-20 mg of heavy bupivacaine is injected into the intrathecal area via the L3-4 or L4-5 spinal space, using a spinal needle. Following the removal of the spinal needle, an epidural catheter is then placed through the same opening. |

Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) will be evaluated with a verbal descriptive scale. (0 = None at all, 1 = Mild nausea, 2 = Moderate nausea, 3 = Vomiting once, 4 = Vomiting more than once) |
| postoperative 24 hours |
| NRS Score | The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is a frequently utilized pain screening instrument for the objective assessment of the current intensity of pain, employing a scale of 0-10. The scale ranges from zero, which represents the absence of pain, to 10, which represents the worst pain imaginable. The postoperative NRS score will be evaluated at the following time points: the first, third, sixth, twelfth, and 24th hours. | postoperative 24 hours |
| Time to first mobilization | The patients first mobilization time after the operation will be recorded. | Up to 24 hours after surgery. |
| Time to discharge | he length of hospital stay will be recorded. | Trough hospital stay, an average of 1 week |
