Effects of Spinal vs General Anesthesia on Systemic Inflammation in PCNL

Comparison of Spinal and General Anesthesia on Systemic Inflammatory Response in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Evaluation of SII, SIRI, AISI, NLR, and RDW

This observational study aims to compare the effects of spinal and general anesthesia on perioperative systemic inflammatory response in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Systemic inflammatory indices derived from routine complete blood count parameters, including Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), will be evaluated. Preoperative and postoperative laboratory values will be analyzed to determine whether the type of anesthesia influences systemic inflammatory markers and related clinical outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status class IV or V
• Patients younger than 18 years
• Active infection or diagnosis of sepsis
• Malignancy
• Chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus)
• Use of immunosuppressive therapy
• Pregnancy
