Anesthesia showdown: which method calms inflammation after hernia surgery?
NCT ID NCT07271459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares total intravenous anesthesia (using propofol and dexmedetomidine) to inhalational anesthesia (using sevoflurane) in 40 adults undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Researchers measure inflammatory markers in the blood before and after surgery, along with hospital stay length and nausea/vomiting. The goal is to see which anesthesia method leads to less inflammation and a smoother recovery.
