Summary

This study compares two common anesthetics—propofol and sevoflurane—in 70 obese patients undergoing back surgery. Researchers will measure inflammation markers in blood samples taken before and after surgery to see which anesthetic causes less immune system disruption. The goal is to find the safer option for this patient group.
